The Transfer Connection
Greetings,
Come to the Ice Cream Social tomorrow, Thursday, September 10 to meet other transfer students and college representatives. Learn about Tau Sigma, National Honor Society for Transfer Students, take a breather from the first weeks of class and chill with some UNL Dairy Store ice cream. Meet in Love Library South Room 110 from 4:00 to 5:00 or for as long as you can stay. This informal event will not have a program, but college officials and Tau Sigma officers will be introduced.
What does it take to be a successful student? It may depend on how you define success. Are you barely passing or making the most of your opportunities? Getting by or getting everything you can for your education dollars? What would it take to step up? Make sure you take advantage of the student services. Use the Libraries, Career Services Center, University Health Center, and other services paid for by your fees.
The Transition website can link you to information you need to get started on the right track. This page can help you get accustomed to the UNL web: http://transition.unl.edu/look.shtml
Make sure the university has your current email address. You will receive important information including your student bills by email. Update your email and mailing address in WAM! While you are there, you may want to enroll in Direct Deposit of refunds. If you get scholarship or loan payments that you need for bills through the semester, Student Accounts must send that money to you. Checks can get lost in the mail, have to be deposited in your bank, and could be sent to an old address. Choose the account where you want the money to go. More information at: http://stuaccts.unl.edu/refunds/directdeposit.shtml

E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues - Encountering China
"China's Trade and Soft Power Relationships with Asia and the United States - Reason to Worry?" Doug Bereuter
The issue of the United States’ trade deficit with China is becoming more controversial as America loses manufacturing jobs. Pair that with China’s focus on developing soft power (the ability of a country to persuade others to do what it wants without force or coercion) and interesting questions arise. How will increasing Chinese soft power affect the U.S.? Is China’s model of growth and stability more attractive to the developing world? Doug Bereuter is uniquely qualified to provide insights into these questions and more. A Nebraska Colloquium event. http://enthompson.unl.edu/
