NIC News & Events [https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mcusercontent.com/aa74e0e500b559fc0e6fc… ] THIS WEEK AT NIC CAMPUS UPDATES | NEWS & EVENTS [https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mcusercontent.com/aa74e0e500b559fc0e6fc… ] Massage Monday Monday, September 8 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Link, 1st Floor NIC Partners are encouraged to take a well-deserved break and receive a FREE 5-minute chair massage.

[https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mcusercontent.com/aa74e0e500b559fc0e6fc… ]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a…> Nebraska Bluegrass Concert Series Wednesday, September 10 Live Music Begins at 6:00 p.m. Nebraska Innovation Campus Plaza The September 10 concert will be performed by Bronwyn Keith-Hynes<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a…> and opener The Midnight Wanderers<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a…>. Grammy-winning fiddle virtuoso Bronwyn Keith-Hynes is stepping into the spotlight. After several years of wowing audiences as the fiddler for Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, the two-time IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year is striking out on her own, fronting a band for the first time and bringing her voice to the forefront. Known for her fiery fiddle playing and pure, rootsy singing, Keith-Hynes’ debut vocal album ‘I Built a World’ earned her a Grammy nomination, and American Songwriter calls her “a world-class fiddler with a golden voice.” Keith-Hynes’ music blends high-octane bluegrass sensibilities with the soul of country and American Roots music. Backed by a powerhouse group of Nashville musicians hand-picked from her tight-knit community, Keith-Hynes represents the next generation of top-tier bluegrass musicians, who will be appreciated for generations to come. Hailing from Lincoln, Neb., The Midnight Wanderers started over a decade ago when husband-and-wife duo Matt and Jenny Richardson delved deeper into the folk tradition. Matt picked up the banjo, and Jenny gravitated to the upright bass. From there, they shaped their band and the old-time goodness of their setlists, with music covering the gamut of Americana. The Midnight Wanderers are a collaborative effort, taking turns singing lead and selecting songs that keep the set diverse. With tunes curated from many genres, including classic rock, Western swing, country and bluegrass, there is something for everyone.

Inspired by travels with family and friends, Valery transforms photographs into paintings that invite a deeper, more personal reflection. Each piece requires careful attention to detail, reconnecting her with the memories of a specific time and place. Marbles, with their bold and brilliant colors, are treasures in their own right and reflect her fascination with vibrant hues. Likewise, the luminous array of colors found in flowers continues to bring her immense joy—an energy that shines throughout this collection. Valery Wachter is a dedicated member of the Lincoln arts community. She has served on the Friends of UNL Art Department board, MEDICI, the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts Alumni Board and the selection committee for the Mayor’s Arts Awards. She is represented by the Burkholder Project Gallery and is a founding and current member of the Bryan Health Art Committee. Valery holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Her work is included in private collections across the country and her sculpture Nebraska Wildflowers is permanently installed on the Bryan East Campus.

Visitor and Deliveries
by Susie Fauble 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

Hello all, We have had a few instances recently where visitors and delivery drivers have been unsure where to go once they arrive at our building. People (delivery drivers, food deliveries, people looking for other people) are also bothering the Food for Health clinic while they are trying to conduct their clinical trials. To help reduce confusion, and to limit the disruptions to the clinic, could you please remember these two things: 1. Please include your name on all deliveries and food orders. This helps ensure packages and meals get to the right person without delay. 2. If you are expecting a visitor, please try to greet them in the lobby or provide clear directions ahead of time. This will help prevent people from wandering through the building looking for offices or assistance. Your help with these small steps will make a huge difference in helping keep traffic away from the clinic and deliveries running smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation. Best Regards, Susie [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Susie Fauble Administrative Coordinator Department of Food Science and Technology <https://foodsci.unl.edu/ > University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Innovation Center, 1901 N 21st St, Room 232 Lincoln, NE 68588-6205 402-472-2905 Empathy / Strategic / Developer / Context / Belief
