Looking for a cat sitter
by Anna Grace Hilton via Fdst-all-building 05 May '25

05 May '25

Hello everyone! I am heading to the Reciprocal Meat Conference on June 22nd, and I will be there for the week. I need someone to look after my adolescent kitten, Schminky. He needs someone to play with him and make sure he has food and clean litter. I would be open to him staying with someone (supplies provided) or having someone come over to check on him and play with him a few times while I am gone. My whole family is very allergic to cats, so unfortunately, they can't help. Please, email me if you would like to cat sit! -Anna Hilton

This migration has been carefully planned and thoughtfully developed over time to ensure a smooth transition and long-term success. This migration will: - Enable future-ready technology such as Microsoft Copilot AI - Streamline collaboration across campuses and units - Enhance research security with compliant cloud-based storage - Simplify access using a single login: NUID(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:NUID@nebraska.edu> This system-wide initiative—called the Future Ready Cloud Collaboration Workspace (FRCCW)—will deliver a more integrated and secure digital workspace for all NU campuses. Please share this message with faculty and staff in your unit(s). Planned Timeline November 2024: Migration process began for UNL. Fall 2025: IANR will migrate to the new platform. Now through Summer: ITS is compiling an inventory of all devices (e.g., computers, printers, servers). Please assist if contacted. May 2025: We’ll begin gathering details on SharePoint sites, Teams, shared mailboxes, and other collaborative resources. Summer–Early Fall: Watch for migration updates from IANR and ITS. 30 Days Before Migration: You’ll receive detailed instructions and reminders. Key Benefits * Future-Ready Technology * Prepare for advanced capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot AI. * Seamless Collaboration Across Campuses * Communicate more efficiently with shared tools and calendars. * Enhanced Productivity * Use integrated features like Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook across devices. * Secure, Cloud-Based Research Storage * Benefit from protected access to files via SharePoint and OneDrive. * Simplified Sign-On Experience * Use your NUID(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:NUID@nebraska.edu> for Microsoft 365, without changing your current email address. * Scalable and Unified Tools * Access a full range of Microsoft 365 services like Teams Phone and mobile apps. What This Means for You • Email Address: No change. • Username: Will become NUID(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:NUID@nebraska.edu> for all Microsoft 365 services and desktop logins. • Microsoft 365 Data: OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, and shared resources will migrate to a new tenant. Previously shared links will need to be recreated post-migration. • TrueYou Username: Will also change to NUID(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:NUID@nebraska.edu>, unifying access for: - University devices - Office 365 - SAP/Firefly - Eduroam WiFi - Desktop and mobile apps • Shared Links & Permissions: - Internal permissions will migrate automatically. - External collaborator permissions must be re-shared post-migration. More Information • Future Ready Project Overview<https://nebraska.edu/offices-policies/its/future-ready > • Internal Information Site<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uofnelincoln.sharepoint.com/sites/UNL_I… > – with key dates, links, and FAQs We will provide periodic updates as we continue to navigate the migration preparations. Thanks in advance for your support in making this transition a success. Best regards, Jeff Bassford Bryan Kinnan

FW: Students awards
by Silvana Martini 02 May '25

02 May '25

Please help me congratulate Dr. Majumder's lab for their outstanding performance at the recent AOCS Meeting in Portland. Overall, his research group secured 7 awards during the meeting! I also want to congratulate all the UNL students that attended the meeting. People kept stopping me at the conference and congratulating me about the UNL representation! GBR! It is very fulfilling to see students being encouraged by their supervisors to participate in international conferences and putting themselves "out there" to share their research and experiences. It is great to win awards to be recognized, but I also want to emphasize that most of the times, selecting "winners" is very hard, and the important part is to "go out there" and show the world what you can do! Great job! I am extremely proud of each one of you! Congrats and keep up the good work!
