Husker POWER / OWNERSHIP
Last week Jaime wrote about PURPOSE and asked you to think deeply about why you are here at the University and what you hope to gain from your experiences here. This week I want to focus on
OWNERSHIP
and your role in creating your Husker story.
You’ve had a couple of weeks to settle in and adjust back to your school routine. Now is the time to connect with the Husker community. We encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and engage in conversations and experiences with peers whose opinions, customs, identities and personal lifestyles differ from your own.
Additionally, we encourage you take charge of your educational path. Please come to the Student Success office to talk about educational experiences like studying abroad or adding minors to your degree path. If you find you need extra help with note taking or time management, we can direct you to workshops to help you gain skills in these areas. Our purpose is to help you author your educational journey.
Here are some ways you can connect with peers and learn about yourself:
Engage with your
Peer Mentor
(Or become an Ambassador or Peer Mentor!)
Write a letter home to family or friends thanking them for supporting your journey
Remember - you are the author of your story and your educational journey. We in the Student Success Office are available to help you take advantage of all the opportunities available in the College and at UNL that will contribute to your story! Stop in anytime…we are excited to help you connect and support your journey!

Tyler Green, historian, critic, and host of The Modern Art Notes Podcast, will present a talk on his first book “Carleton Watkins: Making the West American” (University of California Press 2018), Thursday, September 26, at 9:30 a
m in
the Sheldon Museum of Art's Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium. The talk is free and open to the public, although it has been scheduled especially for students in Landscape Architecture 241.
“Carleton Watkins: Making the West American” is both a biography of one of the greatest photographers of the nineteenth century and an exploration of an artist’s impact on the United States. Green’s talk will focus on Watkins’s role in the establishment of Yosemite as a national park—the first such act of landscape preservation—reminding us that artists don’t just respond to their world, they can change it.

• It inspires the juniors to pursue various internship opportunities
• Provides a platform to discuss the practicalities and expectations of being a design student intern
• Allows students to see the alignment of how their current education is preparing them for their professional future
• Motivates all to continue to pursue academic excellence and active learning experiences in order to achieve their future goals.
