University Health Center awards $6,000 to RSOs
Three student-run programs that address health disparities on campus have received funding from the University Health Center.
The awards were offered through a competitive process open to UNL's Recognized Student Organizations. Announced Nov. 12, the awards are intended to provide funding to RSOs that could identify a gap or a need on campus that would directly help students and reduce health disparities at UNL. Health disparities are gaps in the quality of health that reflect differences between groups. These disparities may stem from many factors. Read more about these funds in Today@UNL.

UNL.edu now formatted for all devices
The Internet and Interactive Media group of University Communications and Information Services has concluded the first phase in its effort to provide full support to all devices - desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets - by implementing a suite of web technologies collectively known as 'responsive design.' This week, the internal and external homepages were re-launched as 'responsive' designs.
You can see the effects of responsive design in your desktop browser by simply re-sizing your browser window (the page will reformat as the window is narrowed), or by viewing on your tablet or smartphone. Please use the 'feedback' links at the bottom of the page if you would like to let us know of any issues. Thank you.
