Don't check out yet - there's a few weeks to go as November ends and we ease into December. We sifted through the campus calendars and activities to curate an excellent list of events.
Here are FIVE great happenings to consider.

Hi, How Are You
12 to 2 p.m. November 30
Howard L. Hawks Hall, North Lobby
Trust your gut instinct when you feel something is up with a classmate, friend, or loved one – it’s the time to ask them how they’re doing.
In a few minutes at this free drop-in event, UNL's Well-being Ambassadors can teach you how to support your peers. They will quiz your current knowledge on available mental health resources as well as decrease the stigma around help-seeking.
Participants will walk away with informational resources and fun stickers, plus be entered for a chance to win a Big Red Resilience and Well-being swag bag.
When you stop by, remember to snap a photo with the friendly frog!
