VIRTUAL LUNCH & LEARN: Focus on Children
Please join us for our third Alumni Virtual Lunch & Learn Tuesday, April 21, from 12:30-1 p.m (CDT) with the presentation “Caring for and Teaching Children at Home in the Time of COVID-19.”
A joint venture of the UNMC and UNO alumni associations, Alumni Virtual Lunch & Learns are streamed live via Facebook. A Facebook account is NOT required to watch the live stream, which allows for comments and questions from viewers.
The April 21 presentation will be led by UNO Associate Professor of Teacher Education Debora Wisneski and alum Katy Barrett, who soon will have her doctorate in school psychology. The pair will discuss:
• Setting a family routine • Learning — and playing — together as a family • Coping skills • Being patient with each other — and ourselves
To participate in the live stream, join us Tuesday, April 21, at 12:30 p.m., at this link: https://www.facebook.com/UNOAlumni/posts/10158126868594383

SEND US A CLASS NOTE — WITH A FAMILY PICTURE!
"The Family" is the theme of our next UNO Magazine. Send us a Class Note that:
1. Provides an update on your life — a new job or promotion, moves, family additions, personal achievements, etc. Or, tell us how you're spending this time of "social distancing" or how you've helped others.
2. Provides a photo of you or you with your family. It can be a formal portrait, a favorite, or just a picture that shows how you and your loved ones are spending these days together! Make sure to include names.
Photos can be like the one provided by 1999/2003 UNO grad Melissa (Foulk) Routh, who says the "new normal" is doing schoolwork and crafts at the kitchen table with her children Connor and Samantha.
