Matt is a great tech support guy and is equally responsive and
technically sound. He had been working for our Burnett and
Bessey buildings and in the past few months took over Advising
and Communication studies.
Matt would be around the next week and meet you all. If there are
any pending things from Jeremiah’s side please feel free to let Matt
know. As part of the off-boarding process, if there are any keys or
equipments from your department under his possession, please
make sure that we have closed all loops.
You will all still send ticket requests to <oldfathersupport@unl.
edu>
For reference. Matt’s email address is [email protected].
As always, I appreciate your patience during this transition
and we will make sure that none of the departments are being
affected by this change.
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call me
at 2-7327 or email me at [email protected]
Please send your
announcements, Bravos
and events for the
weekly newsletter
to Casandra
([email protected])

Hello,
To allow room for incoming summer and fall titles and to meet publisher returns deadlines, the University
Bookstore will begin returning spring textbooks to the publishers on March 3rd.
We understand that many students buy books as they are needed throughout the semester. With this in mind,
please let us know of any titles that you or your students will still need to have available beyond this time, given
the structure of the class. Let us know which titles we need to keep shelved and for how long. It would also be
helpful to let students know that textbooks will be returned next week to give them the opportunity to obtain any
that they may still need.
Please feel free to contact the textbook department at 2-7313.
Thank you.
