Campaign promotes students' character, integrity
The Office of Student Affairs is encouraging UNL students — and everyone on campus, for that matter — to "Show Your Red."
The Show Your Red campaign, to be launched at the Aug. 19 New Student Convocation, recognizes students for demonstrating character traits of integrity, defined as: caring, citizenship, commitment, dependability, open-mindedness and respect. Students who are spotted doing the right thing and can be identified, will be given a pin corresponding to a character trait. Read more about this campaign on Today@UNL.

Two UNL students among 6 featured in Kansas City exhibition
The work of two UNL art students will be featured in "The Fascinators: The Inaugural Charlotte Street Biennial of Regional BFA/MFA Candidates" exhibition. Only six students were selected to participate in the art exhibition.
The biennial is a new exhibit designed to showcase the work of outstanding artists emerging from colleges and universities within a 200-mile radius of Kansas City. The exhibit is designed to connect up-and-coming artists with Kansas City's art community. The exhibition runs Sept. 2-Oct. 15 at La Esquina, a Charlotte Street Foundation Urban Culture Project venue, 1000 W. 25th St., in Kansas City. Read more about the exhibition on Today@UNL
Residence hall move-in begins
Helpful links
Back-to-campus time at UNL will again see thousands of students moving in to residence halls in the span of a few days prior to the Aug. 22 start of the fall semester. Most students will be moving in to residence halls, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Aug. 18-19. Students residing in The Village and The Courtyards begin move-in Aug. 16.
Faculty, staff, visitors and Lincoln residents should be aware of minor traffic delays in the City Campus vicinity because of lane-closings and some congestion from move-in traffic, in addition to changing traffic patterns from the ongoing Salt Creek Roadway construction. A new traffic roundabout at 10th Street and Salt Creek Roadway (near Stadium Drive) opened Aug. 13. Read more about move-in on Today@UNL.
