Brother2Brother is hosting a symposium for University of Nebraska-Lincoln men and nonbinary students to discuss mental health, money management and masculinity.
The event will take place Friday, April 23 from noon to 3 p.m. via Zoom, although Michael Sanders, a sophomore computer science major and the vice president of Brother2Brother, said it is still undecided whether there will be an in-person component.Â
According to Tamayo Zhou, a graduate student and Brother2Brother coordinator, anybody on campus that identifies as male or nonbinary is allowed to participate in the event, but all attendees must register by 9 a.m. on April 23rd.Â
