The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s voluntary COVID-19 Vaccine Registry is live for students, faculty and staff.

In mid-March 2020, University of Nebraska-Lincoln students received an email stating classes would be suspended for a week prior to spring break and would return to online classes for the remainder of the semester. Nearly a year later, the world looks very different than it did at the time of that fateful email.

In his 20s, Shon Hopwood performed a string of robberies and served 11 years in jail. While in jail, he found a love of law and went on to become a professor of law at Georgetown. On April 23 at 7 p.m., Hopwood will give a guest lecture via Zoom presented by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Collegiate Recovery Community, whose mission is to help and provide resources to students recovering from addiction.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln, with support from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, will hold an on-campus vaccination clinic on April 20.

“What Were You Wearing,” an art exhibit that asks participants to understand that it is never about the clothing when sexual violence occurs, will be on display at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from April 12-21.
