To view this as a webpage, click here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/t.e2ma.net/message/rh2gyl/32uu8xee__;!!P…>. [University of Nebraska System] [A Message from NU Leadership on Additional Paid Leave] July 1, 2025 Dear Colleagues, As we begin the new fiscal year, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for all that you do to make our university such an extraordinary place. Your dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to our mission this past year have been remarkable, and we know you will continue to bring that same excellence to the year ahead. While we are all disappointed that our budget constraints did not allow us to implement a system-wide, merit-based salary plan this year, we remain committed to recognizing and supporting you in meaningful ways. We have received several suggestions as to the best ways to express our gratitude and continue to work hard to implement as many of them as possible. As a gesture of appreciation, and in recognition of the importance of taking care of our University of Nebraska family, we are granting all leave-eligible employees two additional paid leave days in the coming fiscal year. The first additional paid leave day will be observed on Thursday, July 3, 2025, just before our national Independence Day holiday, and the second on Wednesday, December 24, 2025. These days will be automatically designated in Firefly as paid leave, so no action is needed on your part to receive this benefit. If you have any questions or have already taken a vacation day for July 3, please work directly with your campus HR office on next steps. We recognize that some employees, such as campus public safety officers and healthcare professionals, may be required to work on these days to maintain essential operations. Those individuals will receive banked paid leave days to use at a later time, and Chancellors and their leadership teams will communicate directly with employees designated as “essential” during these dates. Our goal is for the University of Nebraska to continue to be an employer of choice — a place where talented people come to build meaningful careers and where they feel valued not only for their work, but for who they are as individuals and colleagues. We hope these additional leave days provide you with time to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments with your loved ones. Please know they are given with deep gratitude for all that you do. Thank you again for your outstanding contributions to our university. We wish you and your families a safe, happy, and restorative Independence Day holiday. With appreciation, Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D. President, University of Nebraska System Neal Schnoor, Ph.D. Chancellor, University of Nebraska at Kearney Rodney D. Bennett, Ed.D.

The UNL School of Computing's Senior Design Capstone Program <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a…> portfolio for the 2025/26 academic year at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln was at full capacity, until a recent surge in student enrollment opened the door for 10 new industry-sponsored projects this year. All senior students are required to participate in Senior Design for graduation, so projects are need to get these senior students aligned with some interesting and impactful real-world industry projects and do so quickly! If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, now is the perfect time! What sets this program apart? * 1,500+ hours of real development work from students majoring in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering and Data Science * Full IP ownership for your organization * Faculty, staff, and industry project manager support (most programs only offer faculty oversight) * Strong industry integration — all projects are real, not theoretical * Sponsors range from startups to Fortune 500 companies, many with ties to Nebraska or UNL alumni The School of Computing's Senior Design program stacks up against some of the best in the nation — not just in scope, but in outcomes.
