Hi all,
The main focus of Friday's meeting will be SSH text message training for advisors, career coaches, Andrea, and Rebecca. We will all meet at 8:30 for updates and then Nicholas, Anna, Stephanie, Meredith, and Renae will be able to leave after that.
At 9 AM the rest of us will be joined by Jaci Gustafson (in person) and Alan Frizzell (via zoom) for the SMS training. I checked with Jaci and you do not need to bring a laptop unless you would like to. Most of the training will focus on policy and they will provide screen shots on how to send a text.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Amy

Hi all,
I’m not sure who all has gotten this e-mail, so thought I’d share broadly with our team. There’s information about an upcoming 1st Gen Networking and Coffee for students as well as an opportunity for staff to apply to be on the First Gen Advisory Board if you are interested.
Thanks.

Subject: First Gen Coffee & Conversations: March 11
Good afternoon all,
The next FGN Coffee & Connections event is next Tuesday from noon – 1:30 pm behind Dunkin’ in Love Library. Students are invited to attend to meet and mingle with fellow first-gen students and connect with faculty and staff who are first-gen supporters. This is a low-stakes, no-pressure event. Students can stay for as long (or short) as they want, stop by with questions, or come for nothing but vibes. Members of the First Gen Advisory board will be around for questions and conversations!
We’ll be offering *free* coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and donuts, and making buttons again!
UESS units: A digital sign for this event is attached – it can start running today and continue through next Tuesday (non-UESS units are invited to run the sign too, if relevant for your area).
This event is designed for first gen students, but we know it can be a little intimidating for students to head into a new space all on their own. We’d love to have you join us, especially if you’re bringing along a few first-gen friends 😊
You can check out the event posting here<https://events.unl.edu/firstgennebraska/2025/03/11/187113/>.
Also, applications to join the First Gen Advisory board will remain open through Friday, March 14! UNL students, faculty, staff, and alumni are all invited to apply.
The FGN Advisory Board meets three times a semester during the academic year to provide feedback to the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor’s Office regarding how to best support first-generation students, staff, and faculty. In addition, board members commit to active participation in FGN events and pledge to co-lead and support first-gen initiatives, such as the Coffee & Connections event above and First Gen Week. The term of service is for two consecutive academic years.
Applications are due by Friday, March 14, 2025. Applications should be submitted online here<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=rQHb_YNJbkOrNRrwQ7gYyUV…>.
Thank you!
Lydia

Hi all,
This is an external scholarship for college freshmen or sophomores. Feel free to share with any of your students as you see fit. I'd also broadly encourage students to visit the External Scholarships page (https://financialaid.unl.edu/types-funding/external-scholarships/) if they are looking ot identify additional funding options to help offset the cost of their education. Thanks.

There are a few upcoming opportunities to support or get involved with First Gen Nebraska, and we need your help to get the word out!
The next FGN Coffee & Connections event is one week from today (February 21) from 10 – 11:30 am behind Dunkin’ in Love Library. Students are invited to attend to meet and mingle with fellow first-gen students and connect with faculty and staff who are first-gen supporters. This is a low-stakes, no-pressure event. Students can stay for as long (or short) as they want, stop by with questions, or come for nothing but vibes. Members of the First Gen Advisory board will be around for questions and conversations!
We’ll be offering *free* coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and donuts, and I believe there will be button making again!
UESS units: A digital sign for this event is attached – it can start running today and continue through next Friday (non-UESS units are invited to run the sign too, if relevant for your area).
This event is designed for first gen students, but we know it can be a little intimidating for students to head into a new space all on their own. We’d love to have you join us, especially if you’re bringing along a few first-gen friends 😊

Hi everyone, I am sharing Associate Dean Griffin’s information previously shared with department leaders regarding responding to law enforcement requests in our workspaces. If you have any follow up questions, please come and see me and we’ll discuss. Thanks for all you do!

Subject: Re: Law Enforcement
Hi everyone,
We received the following additional guidance from the Office of General Counsel:
1. Law enforcement needs a warrant to enter private spaces.
2. If law enforcement shows up with a warrant call UNL PD and the Office of General Counsel.
3. Comply with the warrant and do not try to impede law enforcement officers.
4. If they do not have a subpoena, you are not obligated to submit to an interview.
UNL Police Department at 402-472-2222
NU Office of General Counsel at 402-472-1201
From the earlier guidance, private spaces include residence halls, classrooms, and offices. I do not anticipate additional guidance, broader university communication on this question, or any signage. If you have specific questions and would like to talk them through, I would be happy to talk with you by phone.
I know you are all doing your best to manage many many hard and frankly scary things. You are doing amazing work with energy and care. Thank you. We will continue to do our best to help.
Warm wishes,
June
