[00:00:00.061]Welcome, CASNR students.
[00:00:01.821]My name is Tiffany Heng-Moss and I have the honor
[00:00:05.440]of serving as Dean for the College of Agricultural Sciences
[00:00:08.990]and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska.
[00:00:12.130]To our CASNR students, we are excited to have
[00:00:14.690]you be a part of our college and we look forward
[00:00:17.440]to having you on campus this fall.
[00:00:19.820]College is an exciting time and we want to recognize
[00:00:22.857]that this upcoming academic year will be a bit different
[00:00:26.600]than any of us had previously envisioned.
[00:00:29.740]While no university can answer every detail,
[00:00:33.200]please know that UNL is committed to offering a safe
[00:00:36.280]and successful educational experience for our students.
[00:00:40.410]We are working hard this summer to enhance health and safety
[00:00:44.140]so that our CASNR community and visitors to campus
[00:00:47.421]can get the most out of their Nebraska experience.
[00:00:50.996]A common question among our students is,
[00:00:53.790]what will my classes be like in the fall?
[00:00:56.323]Please know that where a class can be held in person
[00:00:59.570]in a classroom or other facility, it will be.
[00:01:02.670]Other classes will be taught with part of the class
[00:01:05.050]in person and part of the class remote.
[00:01:08.150]Alternating to ensure an in person interaction
[00:01:11.160]with your instructors and peers.
[00:01:13.500]There may also be online coursework
[00:01:15.680]to compliment the classroom experience.
[00:01:17.900]And some classes may be taught entirely online.
[00:01:21.400]The most up-to-date information
[00:01:23.980]about your on-campus experience can be found
[00:01:26.680]at the UNL website on the fall 2020 page.
[00:01:30.620]As you think about getting ready for the fall semester,
[00:01:33.821]we want to remind you of a few things.
[00:01:36.221]First, classes will start remotely on August 17th.
[00:01:40.800]When in-person instruction beginning August 24th.

[00:02:00.370]We have suspended some traditional breaks
[00:02:02.900]to compress the false schedule,
[00:02:04.520]reducing travel that can result in increased spread
[00:02:07.770]of COVID-19.

[00:02:11.790]before Thanksgiving, we will offer a new three week,
