[00:00:02.850]Hi everyone, welcome to UNL
[00:00:04.950]and to the College of Agricultural Sciences
[00:00:07.380]and Natural Resources or CASNR for short.
[00:00:10.590]We're so glad to have you here
[00:00:12.120]amongst our newest group of of CASNR students.
[00:00:16.680]We want to start by making a few introductions
[00:00:18.690]so you know who will be coming around.
[00:00:20.910]Tiffany Heng-Moss is our Dean and she puts student success
[00:00:23.880]as her primary goal for everyone,
[00:00:25.920]so you know that you're in great hands here in CASNR
[00:00:29.040]And Tiffany and the rest
[00:00:30.150]of the Dean's Office staff are currently located
[00:00:32.490]in the East Campus Union.
[00:00:34.200]So I feel confident you'll go to the union for coffee,
[00:00:37.470]for snacks at Herbie's Market
[00:00:39.330]and that the Dean's office is located right next
[00:00:41.430]to Herbie's Market on the second floor.
[00:00:43.650]And here's another great group
[00:00:45.120]of people who are part of our success team.
[00:00:48.900]It's Director Megan Rothenberger, Sierra Votaw,
[00:00:51.960]who's our Student Success Coach,
[00:00:53.250]and the brand new to CASNR,
[00:00:54.870]Lindsay Daniels who will be our academic navigator.
[00:00:57.870]And they're here to help
[00:00:58.703]with a wealth of different activities,
[00:01:00.630]student support, Start Smart, all of that.
[00:01:03.780]So student support wise, most
[00:01:06.030]of you that are coming in have come
[00:01:07.380]from another institution, but some of you are new as well.
[00:01:11.880]Our Student Support Center is here to help.
[00:01:14.190]Family emergencies,
[00:01:15.731]maybe you know how different situations worked
[00:01:18.570]at your old institution, but not here,
[00:01:20.580]so that's a great thing that we can do,
[00:01:22.680]is help find whatever resource you need
[00:01:25.590]whatever service, maybe you're just adjusting
[00:01:28.260]to the new college environment or need someone to talk to,
[00:01:31.020]they are here.
[00:01:32.460]And so, easy to talk to, easy to find.
[00:01:34.800]And they may reach out to you involving registration,
[00:01:38.760]survey follow up, academic standing, things like that.
[00:01:42.180]And one great program that we offer
[00:01:43.740]in CASNR is our CASNR Cares program.
[00:01:46.050]And this is our go-to for crazy things that happen to you
[00:01:49.490]in your life, student emergencies, things like that.
[00:01:54.120]On occasion, someone has their appendix rupture.
[00:01:57.150]Oh my word, what do we do?
[00:01:58.290]We call our CASNR Cares line
[00:01:59.640]and they will let your faculty know that you're out and why.
[00:02:02.220]And so they're a great resource for you.
[00:02:04.200]And you can call, your family can call,
[00:02:07.230]we're here to just help make things go smoothly
[00:02:09.060]when life is happening to you.
[00:02:11.250]And we do have AGRI 042 class
[00:02:13.530]that you'll be hearing more about and you'll be seeing
[00:02:15.600]in your Canvas very, very soon.
[00:02:18.180]This is a course just to get you up to date
[00:02:21.210]on things that are happening in the college
[00:02:23.160]and kind of get you acclimated to UNL.
[00:02:25.170]So we do have this course and it's shown as AGRI 042,
[00:02:30.390]and then this whole long name in Canvas.
[00:02:32.880]What it is, is just kind
[00:02:34.080]of the precursor class to get everyone started.
[00:02:36.510]It's pass, no pass.
[00:02:37.800]It opens about a month before school starts.
[00:02:40.320]So we want you to kind of go through it,
[00:02:42.660]know how everything works,
[00:02:43.860]practice uploading some documents to Canvas,
[00:02:46.050]things like that.
[00:02:47.730]And they're just going to help you
[00:02:48.660]with all those next steps.
[00:02:49.590]And Sierra is our contact if you have any questions
[00:02:51.870]about this program.
[00:02:53.340]And then we have this great team in our CASNR Career Hub.
[00:02:57.810]And it's Julie, Darrell and Stephanie.
[00:02:59.880]They're here to help with everything that relates
[00:03:02.250]to finding a job or an internship or an on-campus job.
[00:03:07.050]One thing that we offer here at UNL
[00:03:09.297]and in CASNR that you might've heard us talk about
[00:03:11.670]when you came for your campus visit
[00:03:13.020]was something called Ensuring Your Future.
[00:03:14.550]And this is our guarantee that you'll have a job offer
[00:03:17.220]in your area of interest within six months of graduation
[00:03:20.220]or we will pay to retrain you.
[00:03:23.190]So really great options in that area.
[00:03:25.740]We're going to make sure that we've aligned our curriculum
[00:03:27.690]with jobs that you're going to have.
[00:03:29.040]And the CASNR Career Team is a group
[00:03:31.410]that's going to help you get there.
[00:03:33.630]So we do always like to talk about tips for student success.
[00:03:37.260]We individually advise in CASNR.
[00:03:39.240]So no matter what your major,
[00:03:41.070]whether it's forensic science
[00:03:42.210]or animal science or water science,
[00:03:43.980]you're going to have one person
[00:03:44.820]who's going to work with you,
[00:03:46.200]keep you on track to graduate in a timely manner,
[00:03:48.810]look at all those courses that you might have brought in
[00:03:51.210]from another institution.
[00:03:52.380]They're here to help with all that.
[00:03:54.480]In most cases for this spring semester,
[00:03:58.110]NSE advisor will be the same
[00:03:59.640]as your regular advisor, but maybe not.
[00:04:01.740]So don't freak out if that happens.
[00:04:04.050]But before the first day of school,
[00:04:06.660]it'll be listed in MyRED,
[00:04:08.130]who your advisor is and it'll be in the Student Success Hub,
[00:04:11.679]you can reach out to them to make appointments.
[00:04:14.190]And your advisor's here to help with class scheduling,
[00:04:17.130]questions you have about careers, that sort of thing.
[00:04:21.060]Of course, many of you have been to school before
[00:04:23.340]so you know it's important to go to class.
[00:04:25.170]So we'll just leave that on there.
[00:04:27.420]Take advantage of office hours,
[00:04:28.680]especially as you're getting used to a new school.
[00:04:30.690]It's really good to have those connections
[00:04:33.180]and meet faculty face-to-face.
[00:04:34.560]Our faculty here are very approachable
[00:04:36.330]so keep that in mind.
[00:04:37.650]And of course, we always have to put the no plagiarism
[00:04:40.590]and academic dishonesty in for everything.
[00:04:43.380]So I am sure you've already figured out
[00:04:46.080]that organization is key.
[00:04:47.820]Keeping a planner or whether that's a paper document,
[00:04:50.760]your Google Calendar, whatever it is,
[00:04:53.430]make sure you're keeping track
[00:04:54.690]of all your assignments and things like that.
[00:04:57.450]There is a great academic calendar on the UNL website
[00:05:00.330]for this year and a proposed one for next year.
[00:05:02.670]So look at when dates are for spring break,
[00:05:05.190]when classes get done in May,
[00:05:06.540]all those important next steps.
[00:05:08.520]Sometimes there's a sneaky day in there that we get off
[00:05:11.040]and you don't want to go to class
[00:05:12.630]on a day that everybody else is out.
[00:05:14.310]And make sure that you're writing down from your syllabus,
[00:05:16.320]all your tests, quizzes, paper projects, all of that.
[00:05:20.910]And then of course,
[00:05:21.743]you're going to have a new Huskers email now.
[00:05:24.180]Yay! So keep that in mind.
[00:05:25.483]Your instructions will be coming after NSE,
[00:05:29.490]but all university communication comes through this.
[00:05:32.100]So faculty email, staff email,
[00:05:34.680]Sierra sends a weekly email and Stephanie send weekly emails
[00:05:37.710]about things happening on campus.
[00:05:39.330]So all of that is going to go into your Huskers.
[00:05:41.220]So make sure that you've got that working.
[00:05:43.650]I always say you don't want to miss a snow day
[00:05:47.460]because you didn't check your email
[00:05:49.590]or a faculty member is sick
[00:05:50.910]and you don't have an eight o'clock class.
[00:05:52.260]I want to know that before I get there.
[00:05:53.730]So keep that in mind.
[00:05:55.440]Get your Huskers email all set up.
[00:05:57.780]And then we do send weekly emails.
[00:05:59.640]The Insider Connections is on Monday.
[00:06:01.680]CASNR Career News is on Tuesday.
[00:06:03.630]We try to get everything from the college
[00:06:05.490]into those two emails so that you know you can look at those
[00:06:08.040]and see what's up to date.
[00:06:09.450]And then we do have lots of social media methods
[00:06:11.850]so make sure you're keeping track
[00:06:13.590]of all of that and knowing what's happening.
[00:06:17.340]And then we also like to talk about student success, right?
[00:06:20.700]And we know the classroom is part of it.
[00:06:22.410]We've already kind of covered that,
[00:06:23.820]but we know that there's a lot that happens
[00:06:25.260]outside the classroom that's also part of this experience.
[00:06:27.900]So chances to do undergraduate research
[00:06:30.330]from the day you get here,
[00:06:32.010]chances to learn outside the classroom
[00:06:33.810]through internships, experiential learning,
[00:06:36.300]we have lots of opportunities for hands-on here.
[00:06:39.210]We have 500 plus clubs and organizations at the university
[00:06:42.420]and more than 50 in our college.
[00:06:44.250]So look for ways to get connected,
[00:06:45.870]especially when you're coming in the spring semester.
[00:06:48.240]Get involved in a club right away
[00:06:49.620]so you get to meet people outside of your class
[00:06:51.900]and get excited about something to look forward to.
[00:06:54.330]Education abroad is back and going strong,
[00:06:56.490]so keep that in mind as well.
[00:06:58.380]Lots of opportunities to travel
[00:07:00.076]whether it's in the US or outside the US.
[00:07:03.030]And these are a lot
[00:07:04.170]of short-term trips where you really get to learn
[00:07:06.060]about yourself and about other cultures.
[00:07:10.050]And then make sure
[00:07:11.010]that you understand at UNL, all of our student systems.
[00:07:14.070]This is the MyUNL page.
[00:07:15.630]And this is really a good link to have bookmarked.
[00:07:19.530]It's a homepage for all of our student systems.
[00:07:21.480]So things like Canvas, the Student Success Hub, MyRED,
[00:07:26.370]all of that is right in there.
[00:07:28.410]Firefly, if you have a student job
[00:07:30.180]and you need to turn your hours in,
[00:07:31.440]that's where you do that.
[00:07:33.330]So Canvas is your home for all your classes.
[00:07:35.550]That's where syllabi are posted,
[00:07:36.990]grades, assignments, that's where you'll upload things.
[00:07:39.930]We're going to practice that in Start Smart
[00:07:41.490]so you're good to go.
[00:07:42.660]The Student Success Hub is awesome.
[00:07:44.460]That's where you schedule appointments
[00:07:45.720]with instructors, advisors, people
[00:07:48.030]in our Student Success Hub or in our CASNR Career Hub,
[00:07:51.420]all of that you can schedule through there.
[00:07:53.730]And then of course, MyRED, you found if you're already here
[00:07:56.160]because that's how you have paid your enrollment deposit,
[00:08:00.330]you've worked through different uploading transcripts
[00:08:03.750]and things like that.
[00:08:04.680]That's also where you can update your contact info.
[00:08:07.791]Bills will come through there.
[00:08:09.630]It's where you find your advisor.
[00:08:10.650]It's also where you will register for classes.
[00:08:14.310]And then parking, parking is always a big deal.
[00:08:17.370]You can purchase your parking permit.
[00:08:18.990]I encourage you to go online
[00:08:20.430]'cause they have a really nice tree of resources
[00:08:22.830]of where you're going to be living and so forth.
[00:08:24.720]If you're living off campus,
[00:08:25.890]commuter parking is always a nice thing.
[00:08:28.500]Or perimeter parking
[00:08:29.727]and then riding the bus back and forth between campuses.
[00:08:32.310]I know we can all drive.
[00:08:33.510]We love to drive.
[00:08:34.410]We're Midwestern, we like to drive
[00:08:35.790]but the bus is really nice for getting us back and forth.
[00:08:38.370]You pay for the bus with your tuition and fees,
[00:08:40.710]so keep that in mind as well.
[00:08:44.580]That's really all I've got for you this morning.
[00:08:46.680]We are here to help as you need it.
[00:08:49.320]Let us know what we can do in any way, shape, or form.
[00:08:52.350]And we are always, always, always excited.
