OASIS

For true first-year students, you may not even notice. For upper-level students, you might have been away from campus much longer than this past summer. As you step onto campus again, here's a few things that might catch your attention.

Even toward the end of the semester, there is still a lot happening around town that you won't want to miss out on. Fight your FOMO and head out to any of these social, active or educational events this week.

Final exams are happening a little earlier this semester, so it's important to begin preparing yourself for the coming weeks. These on-campus resources are dedicated to helping you succeed in all your academic responsibilities.

On Monday, members of the University of Nebraska Inter-Tribal Exchange strolled around campus, handing out flyers and telling the University of Nebraska-Lincoln community why they were celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead of Columbus Day. This is just one of the ways UNITE strives to educate students on Native American issues throughout the year.

Recently, students across campus gathered near the Nebraska Union for Fiesta on the Green — an event celebrating Hispanic food, dance, music and more. The celebration was hosted by the Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Multiple registered students organizations, including the Mexican American Student Association, attended the event. Nebraska Today sat down with Miguel Avila Garcia, president of MASA, for a Q&A about Fiesta on the Green and the work his organization is doing on campus.
