HELPFUL HIGHLIGHT
Each newsletter I will be sharing tips, campus resources, and skills that can help you personally, academically, and professionally. This newsletter’s highlight is tips regarding UNL’s COVID-19 policies!
-Stay up to date with the University’s COVID-19 guidelines here: https://covid19.unl.edu/
-If you have any questions reference the Frequently Asked Questions here: https://covid19.unl.edu/fall-2021-campus
-You should have already downloaded the Safer Community app if you have a smart phone and completed the required re-entry testing.
-If a member of your household is unable to receive a vaccine or has a health condition that renders the vaccine ineffective, you can talk with your instructor about requesting to require a face mask in your class.

ADVISING UPDATE
-I am available for appointments, which you can schedule through MyPLAN. Advising appointments across CAS are now 45 minutes. With this new advising schedule structure, it will be especially important that you schedule appointments in advance, cancel your appointment in MyPLAN when you know you are unable to make your appointment time, and use drop-in advising for quick conversations/questions.
-My drop-in hours this semester are Wednesday afternoons (1:00pm-3:00pm) and Friday mornings (10:00am-12:00pm) via Zoom. If you have a quick question, please use drop-ins instead of emailing or scheduling an appointment! You can access the CAS Drop-in Advising Schedule and Zoom Room here: https://cas.unl.edu/drop-in-advising-schedule
