Parents urged to talk to college-bound students about COVID

LINCOLN – For college students across the U.S., it’s safe to say that the fall 2020 semester will look much different than any other semester to date. Not only is there the uncertainty of the global pandemic, causing anxiety, there are also public health concerns about staying physically safe while learning.

Nebraska’s colleges and universities are implementing multiple public health protocols to protect students and employees from contracting the coronavirus. While some policies are universal – practicing social distancing (being 6 feet apart), wearing masks when possible, and frequently washing hands – specifics for each college may be found via the links below.
