All over campus the past year, UNL staff adjusted, adapted and made sacrifices to meet the new challenges presented by the pandemic.Â
Safety for students remained a top priority across all departments, and staff were forced to double and triple their workloads to keep everyone safe during this uncertain period. At times, they put their own health at risk in order to meet the communityâs needs.
These are some, but not all, of the departments that stepped up in the past year.

Charlie Francis, senior director of University Housing and Dining Services, said university administrators knew early on that despite encouraging students to return home, doing so was not an option for every student, especially international students.
In celebration of American Heart Month, the University Health Center will be hosting events next week to raise awareness of heart disease.
From Feb. 22-26, students will be able to attend virtual and in-person Love Your Heart events. Aimee Grindstaff, marketing strategist at Nebraska Medicine, has been hosting the Love Your Heart event for years and said she hopes that students will be more interested this year, so they are able to continue to do the events for years to come.Â
âWhen it comes to heart disease, most people think that it just comes later in life,â Grindstaff said. That is true, but your risk for it starts now as a young adult. We are trying to raise awareness of how your heart behavior now can affect you later in life.â
