UNL Math Day awards $34K to high school students

Nearly 1,400 students from 97 high schools across the state participated in UNL's 23rd annual Math Day on Nov. 15 while top performers walked away with a share of $34,000 in UNL scholarships.

Omaha Central's Marika Svolos claimed the top prize in the day's scholarship competition — an $8,000 award to attend UNL. Winners in the team competition included Lincoln East in Class A, Elkhorn in Class B, Omaha Brownell-Talbot in Class C and Sargent in Class D. Read more about these awards in Today@UNL.

responsive design

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.
