More Information About the UNL.edu Transition
With the introduction of the new 2009 UNL web templates come several changes in both look and and functionality. We've put together a field guide to help you get the most out of the new site.
Food, Inc and Every Little Step play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Food, Inc and Every Little Step. Both films will screen through September 3.
More information about each film and schedules are available at the Ross website.
Welcome to Campus: Here's What's New
The newly redesigned web site will help you find your way around UNL.edu much easier. We also have a new UNL Children's Center to take care of our babies and preschoolers while we're busy at work and study. As you will see, construction continues on the new residence hall at 17th and R streets, the physics building at 16th and W, and on the Gaughan Multicultural Center adjacent to the Nebraska Union.
New in the headlines is UNL's ranking in the U.S. News and World Report annual college evaluation. UNL for the sixth straight year listed in the top 50 of Public National Universities (at number 43), and in the top 100 of all U.S. colleges and universities (at number 96).
