Friday, August 13, 2021 What's new and what's moved since you were last on campus

As you step onto campus again, here's a few things that might catch your attention.

• Husker Hub is now located at 102 Canfield Administration Building and has both in-person and virtual services for Huskers.
• Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has a new home. The team has moved one floor below their previous spot, to Nebraska Union, Room 222.
