[00:00:02.800]Hello, welcome to the College of Agricultural Sciences
[00:00:06.530]and Natural Resources, CASNR for short,
[00:00:09.640]we are so glad that you were able to join us today.
[00:00:12.350]My name is Maria Hartshorn
[00:00:13.990]and I'll be walking you through this essential information
[00:00:18.140]for your upcoming semester at UNL.
[00:00:22.840]Each day the COVID-19 situation changes
[00:00:26.050]new rules and guidelines are always developing.
[00:00:28.760]To keep yourselves updated
[00:00:29.990]with the most accurate information regarding COVID-19,
[00:00:32.860]please visit this website for the latest information.
[00:00:38.298]We would like to introduce you
[00:00:39.430]to some of our key people within the CASNR community today,
[00:00:42.760]Tiffany Heng-Moss is the Dean of CASNR.
[00:00:47.000]Karen Jackson is the Coordinator of Advising
[00:00:49.400]and Academic Program Enhancement.
[00:00:52.030]You may have seen her name
[00:00:52.950]on some of your new student enrollment materials
[00:00:55.190]that you've received since she is our NSE Coordinator.
[00:00:58.740]She also reviews transfer credit should you have some
[00:01:02.800]coming in or if you were looking to take a course
[00:01:05.023]in future summers and wants to make sure
[00:01:07.520]that the course counts for your degree requirements.
[00:01:10.280]Karen is your go-to person for that.
[00:01:12.650]She also coordinates our campus advising
[00:01:15.150]by making sure all of our students
[00:01:16.630]are assigned an academic advisor.
[00:01:19.820]Megan Rothenberger is CASNR's
[00:01:22.010]Student Development Coordinator
[00:01:23.680]and coordinates the CASNR Cares Program
[00:01:26.010]which we will talk about in a little bit.
[00:01:28.160]She sends weekly emails to students called
[00:01:30.190]Megan's Insider Connections
[00:01:31.770]that will have information of events happening on campus,
[00:01:34.800]scholarship information, Education Abroad information
[00:01:38.190]and much more.
[00:01:39.270]Megan is also the Instructor of the CASNR Start Smart course
[00:01:42.570]which we will discuss later in this presentation.

[00:01:59.250]and belonging programming into the college
[00:02:01.850]and we'll also be partnering

[00:02:45.240]Next we have Ramona Miller or Mo for short,
[00:02:48.470]she'll be one of the first people you will see or talk with
[00:02:51.460]when you visit the CASNR Dean's Office.

[00:03:12.940]how to get fit into your schedule degree program
[00:03:15.750]and provide you with opportunities
[00:03:17.350]to fund these experiences.
[00:03:19.350]He also coordinates the Global Learning Hub
[00:03:22.350]in which the goal is to give a greater number
[00:03:24.540]of students opportunities
[00:03:26.270]to have international experiences during their time at UNL
[00:03:30.020]through inspiring global curiosity,
[00:03:32.460]connecting students, faculty and staff
[00:03:35.210]to global opportunities, supporting international students,
[00:03:38.890]promoting and advising students
[00:03:40.350]on global learning opportunities
[00:03:42.270]and building international community
[00:03:44.750]as well as providing global learning programming
[00:03:47.220]and resources.
[00:03:50.980]In CASNR, our number one priority is our students
[00:03:54.110]and their success.
[00:03:55.450]We are focused on providing you
[00:03:56.760]with an individualized education
[00:03:58.500]and partnering you to co-create the future that you want.
[00:04:01.840]Beyond our first priority of always putting students first,
[00:04:05.060]we're also focused on leveraging partnerships
[00:04:07.550]to provide you with an individualized educational experience
[00:04:10.730]that aligns with your passions.
[00:04:13.010]We embrace the concept of our students
[00:04:15.170]as co-creators of their educational experience and journey
[00:04:18.820]as well as our shared feature.
[00:04:21.720]Our goal is holistic student development
[00:04:23.840]by linking your curriculum with co-curricular programming,
[00:04:27.610]experiential learning, inclusive excellence
[00:04:30.840]and health and wellbeing.
[00:04:33.060]And then finally, we provide education pathways
[00:04:35.770]to extend our students' learning beyond the classroom.
[00:04:39.750]The CASNR Dean's Office is located in 103 Agricultural Hall
[00:04:43.660]please stop in when you are on campus to meet our team.
[00:04:48.480]CASNR Cares is the first point of contact
[00:04:50.450]for students, faculty, and staff and as well as parents
[00:04:53.830]when there are connections, questions, concerns
[00:04:57.490]or situations that affect
[00:04:59.090]the student's educational experience at CASNR.
[00:05:02.090]Save this number which can be called or texted
[00:05:06.310]and is answered outside of work hours.
[00:05:09.480]What are some types of situations
[00:05:11.090]where a student might need to contact CASNR Cares?
[00:05:14.590]Has a family member or had a health emergency
[00:05:18.280]and can't attend a class,
[00:05:20.590]need to connect with UNL service
[00:05:22.900]but don't know where to begin,
[00:05:24.420]struggling emotionally, academically or personally
[00:05:27.070]and need someone to connect with who can help,
[00:05:31.490]has trouble adjusting to college or being away from home
[00:05:34.550]or just needing someone to talk to,
[00:05:36.600]contact our team and we'll put the wheels in motion.
[00:05:41.230]The CASNR Career Center dedicated staff
[00:05:44.410]helps students by preparing them
[00:05:46.570]to make academic and career decisions,
[00:05:49.290]gain experience and pursue employment
[00:05:51.600]or further their education.
[00:05:53.730]They work along the college to provide information
[00:05:56.220]on agricultural and natural resources jobs, student jobs,
[00:06:00.380]internships and full-time employment.
[00:06:04.480]Ensuring your future is the colleges' guarantee
[00:06:08.250]that any CASNR student who completes
[00:06:10.320]the Ensuring Your Future program
[00:06:11.830]will receive at least one job offer relevant
[00:06:13.950]to their academic program
[00:06:15.480]in the first six months after graduation.
[00:06:19.700]CASNR has a rich heritage of
[00:06:21.910]individualize undergraduate student advising by faculty.
[00:06:26.260]While CASNR's traditional advising model
[00:06:28.290]has evolved to include very talented professional advisors,
[00:06:31.950]the commitment to personalize advising
[00:06:34.030]remains a hallmark of the college.
[00:06:37.890]Your new student enrollment advisor might be different
[00:06:40.320]than your primary advisor.
[00:06:42.380]All advisor information
[00:06:43.990]will be assigned by the start of this semester.
[00:06:46.610]This info will be listed on your, MyRed account.
[00:06:49.740]If for some reason the information is not there,
[00:06:52.100]please contact our office.
[00:06:54.780]So, why meet with your advisor?
[00:06:56.950]Your advisor can help with the obvious of class scheduling,
[00:07:00.470]working out an academic plan or graduation plan
[00:07:03.820]but they can also help with career plans
[00:07:06.380]thinking outside of the box of your degree program,
[00:07:09.270]serving as references and obviously helping
[00:07:11.610]you stay on track with graduation.
[00:07:16.620]Here are some tips for our college student success.
[00:07:20.070]The first one is to get organized.
[00:07:22.330]Keep a planner, whether this is paper or electronic,
[00:07:25.460]you can figure out what works best for you.
[00:07:27.660]Write down all the important deadlines
[00:07:29.410]such as tests, quizzes, papers, projects, due dates
[00:07:33.420]and keep track of the academic calendar
[00:07:35.130]which can be found on the University's website.
[00:07:38.070]Second, you'll wanna make sure
[00:07:39.440]that you check your email often.
[00:07:41.840]This will be your @huskers.unl.edu email
[00:07:45.670]that you will receive from new student enrollment
[00:07:48.270]after you have enrolled in classes.
[00:07:51.340]All university communication will be sent
[00:07:53.470]to your Huskers account
[00:07:54.920]so it was important that you check this email every day.
[00:07:57.530]Professors as well as Canvas will send information
[00:08:00.230]to this email
[00:08:01.180]and you should also check your junk slash spam mail
[00:08:03.790]just in case emails fall in there
[00:08:06.400]so you don't miss anything.
[00:08:09.780]Third, it might seem obvious,
[00:08:11.580]so we want you to attend classes
[00:08:14.000]but what we would like to emphasize
[00:08:15.490]is to be an active member of your classes.
[00:08:18.210]Yes, we want you to show up,
[00:08:20.140]but furthermore we want you to be prepared,
[00:08:22.310]have content read in advance, have questions prepared
[00:08:25.520]and be ready to take the information
[00:08:27.130]that you were learning in your lectures
[00:08:28.610]and apply it to your life.
[00:08:30.400]Your professors will have office hours
[00:08:32.180]or student hours that are just for you.
[00:08:35.070]What that means is they will have two to three hours a week
[00:08:38.360]in their office for students to stop by and say, hello
[00:08:41.690]share your ideas or what you were feeling about their class,
[00:08:44.510]ask questions or ask for help.
[00:08:47.110]Professors appreciate when you come to their offices
[00:08:50.180]and just talk about who you are and your goals.
[00:08:53.360]If you cannot make the professors hours,
[00:08:55.980]they always welcome the students
[00:08:57.380]to make appointments with them.
[00:08:59.290]We also want to remind you that all academic dishonesty
[00:09:02.640]and plagiarism are not tolerated at this university.
[00:09:08.710]Finally, CASNR offers a variety of ways
[00:09:11.220]to be involved in your education beyond the classroom walls.
[00:09:15.010]You may choose to perform research
[00:09:16.580]alongside our world-class faculty,
[00:09:19.030]build your entrepreneurial dreams,
[00:09:20.820]connect with like-minded students,
[00:09:22.700]or even play a little ultimate Frisbee.
[00:09:25.230]At UNL and CASNR,
[00:09:26.390]we have experiences for all those interests.
[00:09:29.170]The university has many clubs
[00:09:30.740]and recognize student organizations for you to join.
[00:09:34.120]CASNR alone has 50 clubs and organizations.
[00:09:37.960]When thinking about which club to join, ask yourself,
[00:09:41.140]is this something that you're passionate about?
[00:09:43.340]And is it related to your degree program?
[00:09:46.140]We suggest joining one or two clubs or organizations
[00:09:49.250]in your first semester at college
[00:09:51.230]and as you become more balanced
[00:09:53.150]with your career goals in time, maybe add on one more.
[00:09:57.690]There's also opportunities for Education Abroad.
[00:10:00.530]This helps you spread your wings further
[00:10:02.180]than you might have ever imagined possible.
[00:10:04.750]The impact of an international experience
[00:10:06.670]is great positive and long lasting.
[00:10:09.330]These programs range from one week, a few weeks, semester
[00:10:13.460]or even year long.
[00:10:17.200]So we've been talking about tips for student success
[00:10:20.280]but what are some tips that we suggest
[00:10:21.850]for the parents and guardians?
[00:10:24.060]We want you to know that CASNR cares
[00:10:25.720]about your students' success
[00:10:27.140]and wants these students to succeed.
[00:10:29.860]CASNR students are exposed to an education as transformative
[00:10:33.240]and allows each student to craft their experience
[00:10:35.830]to fit their passions.
[00:10:37.840]Next, stay in touch with your student
[00:10:39.640]whatever method works best for you and your family.
[00:10:42.800]Let them know that you're their biggest supporter.
[00:10:45.150]If any questions or concerns come up,
[00:10:46.970]please reach out to the CASNR cares team for help.
[00:10:50.040]Next, trust our advisors.
[00:10:52.270]Our advisors are very talented
[00:10:53.760]and will guide your students to get to their end goal.
[00:10:56.890]Finally, celebrate all the next steps
[00:10:59.020]your students will complete throughout their time with us.
[00:11:05.080]We want to share with you some ways
[00:11:06.660]that you can get connected while you were here.
[00:11:09.020]One of those ways is the student systems
[00:11:11.040]that are available to you.
[00:11:12.760]Your, MyUNL account is the landing page
[00:11:15.550]that will display the student systems that are available.
[00:11:18.580]Instructions on how to set this account up
[00:11:20.560]will come from new student enrollment
[00:11:22.350]after you've been enrolled in classes.
[00:11:27.053]In the next few slides,
[00:11:28.130]we'll talk about some additional student systems
[00:11:30.620]that you'll be using on a regular basis.
[00:11:33.360]Canvas is a learning management system
[00:11:35.640]that is used at the University of Nebraska.
[00:11:38.550]This system is where all of your classes will be.
[00:11:41.260]Instructors will post syllabi, grades
[00:11:44.040]and assignments through Canvas.
[00:11:46.200]Some of your classes are not going to be uploaded
[00:11:48.440]or published until a few days before classes.
[00:11:50.820]So don't worry if you log on right now
[00:11:52.820]and don't see anything, that is fine.
[00:11:55.800]MyPLAN, which stands for My Personal Learning
[00:11:58.420]and Advising Network
[00:11:59.870]is a program that provides a convenient way
[00:12:02.270]for students communicate with faculty, advisors and staff.
[00:12:06.200]Students can schedule appointments
[00:12:07.640]with instructors and advisors
[00:12:09.570]as well as search through available campus resources.
[00:12:13.700]Your MyRED account is very important.
[00:12:15.980]This is a system where
[00:12:17.170]all of your student information lives.
[00:12:19.680]MyRED provides students access to their bills,
[00:12:22.200]scholarship information, unofficial transcripts,
[00:12:25.147]final grades and advisor info.
[00:12:27.930]It is the enrollment portal for course registration,
[00:12:30.450]and it is where you can update
[00:12:31.620]your contact information as well.
[00:12:36.500]Through MyRED, you'll be able to access the degree audit
[00:12:39.310]and degree planner programs.
[00:12:41.370]First, the degree audit is a computer generated document
[00:12:44.750]outlining your undergraduate academic progress
[00:12:47.680]towards degree completion.
[00:12:49.930]The document includes all UNL coursework,
[00:12:52.420]transfer coursework and courses in progress.
[00:12:55.720]You and your academic advisor will use this
[00:12:58.310]to ensure that you were staying on track for graduation.
[00:13:04.650]Second is Degree Planner.
[00:13:06.460]The Degree Planner can be accessed through MyRED
[00:13:08.830]under the Academics tab.
[00:13:10.720]With Degree Planner, the student can engage
[00:13:12.820]in a thoughtful iterative process
[00:13:14.810]of planning and visualizing their whole academic path
[00:13:18.050]and understanding its components
[00:13:19.930]and developing accountability and ownership
[00:13:22.410]of their academic experiences.
[00:13:24.840]Students will work one-on-one with their advisor
[00:13:27.220]to plan their path to graduation
[00:13:28.940]by building a personalized multi semester degree plan.
[00:13:32.870]Each students' academic plan
[00:13:34.280]will include all requirements for their degree.
[00:13:36.830]Students should revisit their plan each semester
[00:13:39.050]with their advisor until graduation.
[00:13:41.140]Advices will help students use their planner
[00:13:44.110]to identify central components of their major and degree
[00:13:47.160]as well as opportunities to personalize
[00:13:49.230]their path to graduation.
[00:13:52.010]We would love for you to connect with us via social media.
[00:13:55.520]You can see our Facebook, Twitter
[00:13:57.110]and Instagram accounts here
[00:13:58.700]and also University's Next@Nebraska website.
[00:14:02.420]You can also refer to your CASNR Start Smart course
[00:14:05.400]for the invitation link
[00:14:06.380]toward CASNR undergraduate Slack channel.
[00:14:09.030]Stay tuned each Monday once school starts
[00:14:10.960]for Megan's Insider Connections email
[00:14:13.260]and also each week for the CASNR Career news email.
[00:14:18.810]Every incoming student will be enrolled in the Agri 042
[00:14:22.420]CASNR Start Smart course.
[00:14:24.960]This course is aligned with the framework
[00:14:26.880]of the university's power modules
[00:14:29.380]that start you to think about your purpose,
[00:14:31.500]ownership, wellbeing, engagement and relationships
[00:14:35.560]while at the university.
[00:14:39.930]Agro 042 CASNR Start Smart is a zero credit
[00:14:43.580]task no pass course that is required
[00:14:45.590]for all incoming students.
[00:14:47.600]Please watch your Huskers email in Canvas
[00:14:49.730]for specific start and end dates for this course.
[00:14:53.720]In this course, you will learn about UNL and CASNR resources
[00:14:57.010]and important first year and first semester topics.
