Dropbox in BTH 3014J

 Wait! Don’t throw away that old used up pen, pencil, or marker! Take it to Fran or put it into this dropbox in the PT department breakroom (BTH 3014J).
 
This recylcling program helps the environment and benefits charity.
 
In partnership with TerraCycle and Sanford (a Newell Rubbermaid company), UNMC LiveGreen is offering a special recycling program for defunct writing instruments. For each defunct writing instrument that is sent to TerraCycle, UNMC LiveGreen will receive 2 cents, which will be used to help fund other energy and resource conservation efforts on campus.

Help Fran fight extreme poverty

by

I’ve been living on $1.50 worth of food per day since Monday and will continue through Friday…by choice. 1.4 billion people currently live below the poverty line and don’t have a choice. In today’s world, extreme poverty and inequality are unjustifiable and unfair.

Live Below the Line demonstrates the problem in a concrete way, while raising money to address the problem. Support me as I live below the line by donating now – your generous support will go towards fighting extreme poverty. My goal is $250 by Friday afternoon and every dollar helps.

This has been an eye-opening experience for me and I would encourage everyone to give it a try for one day — $1.50 for the whole day. You can donate your savings!

Thanks,
Fran Higgins

Broc, son of Lisa Bartenhagen, director of the Radiation Therapy Education Program loves the time spent with Kelsey, Becca, Brea and Emily.

Even though it was a busy week with Convocation and Graduation, four RSTE students had the time to make their weekly trip to Gretna to help their buddies at TOPS.

TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities, organized by youth soccer association volunteers. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to any boy or girl, who has a mental or physical disability.
