Employees at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where damage was less significant, should contact the appropriate vice chancellor for approval.
Participation is entirely voluntary.
Public service is an important part of the University's mission. Many of the neighborhoods surrounding our campuses and facilities, particularly in Lincoln and Omaha, were devastated by the storm. We want to provide our employees with every opportunity to lend a helping hand to restore some sense of normalcy in the wake of this destruction. Smith said no classes or organized student activities will be disrupted as a result of employees' volunteer efforts. While we encourage all interested employees to participate in this effort, it is important for us to maintain our regular classroom schedules.
