ECNU Students Visit UNL

Students from East China Normal University in Shanghai visited UNL for three weeks. The trip was part of an exchange program between ECNU and UNL.

The students went on tours of schools in Nebraska, including Educare Winnebago, to learn about early childhood development. Highlights of the trip included the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, a rodeo in downtown Lincoln, and shopping at the Nebraska Crossing outlet malls in Gretna.

CEHS Research Showcase highlights life-changing work

Research matters in practical and profound ways. Research in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is enhancing the lives of individuals, families, schools and communities. Older adults can live independently longer, athletes can return to the playing field more safely after concussions, and Americans can avoid the health pitfalls of obesity. These are examples of the promise found in research projects that will be featured at the 2014 CEHS Research Showcase from 4-6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 23 at the UNL East Campus Union in Lincoln.
