March Madness begins today! I know you’ve got your bracket filled out, and you’ve joined the CN bracket pool because you need yet another option, right?

Nebraska scored a Top 10 finish nationally in the 2016 GameDay Recycling Challenge, diverting 27,426 pounds of materials from the landfill.

Husker Dialogues seeks conversation guides | Nebraska Today | University of Nebraska–Lincoln
Husker Dialogues is an event for incoming students that uses small group discussions to lay the foundation for practicing and engaging in conversations about diversity and inclusion
I do believe the ideas of diversity and inclusion are not nearly as hard as we make them. Too much focus on not being offensive and words when really, all you need to do is see each person you meet the same way you want them to meet you - as an individual and not in the pre-defined box into which you’d like to place them.

Logan Handsomepants.

Scientists estimate that there are around 131 spiders per every square meter of land on the globe, and in some places up to 1,000 individuals in that area (about the size of a single mattress).
