COMM Connections

Hello Communication Studies Students!

Winter weather has arrived! Be sure you are taking care of yourself as the weather changes. We are now indoors more, and sometimes this can affect our physical and mental health. Big Red Resilience and Well-Being https://resilience.unl.edu/ offers a number of services to help students be healthy and at their academic best. For instance, Big Red Pawp Up will be November 17th at 12 p.m. in Love Library South – interact with Therapy Dogs on campus. Or maybe you are living paycheck to paycheck and could use some healthier food options at home – Husker Pantry https://pantry.unl.edu/ offers free food and personal items to all Husker students. Or maybe you would just like to talk to another student who understands what you are going through juggling work, school, and relationships – Peer Listening Pop-Ups https://resilience.unl.edu/peer-coaches might be just the thing you need.

Paid Training Program in Environmental Organizing and Advocacy

Green Corps, the Field School for Environmental Organizing is looking to get the word out to graduating seniors at University of Nebraska Lincoln about our paid training program in environmental organizing and advocacy. We focus on equipping recent college grads with the skills and experience they need to tackle our most pressing environmental problems.

Our yearlong program has prepared recent college graduates for 30 years to launch a career in environmental organizing and advocacy by providing hands-on experience running campaigns with groups like the Wilderness Society, Endangered Species Coalition, Mighty Earth and more. We then connect our graduates to jobs in the environmental and social change movement. I want to make sure that students at UNL hear about this opportunity, so I’m working to spread the word far and wide!
I’m also happy to chat with students directly -- my email is felix@greencorps.org
