Health Fair at UNO Brings Out Organizations, People
by Mandy Wu
The 2007 UNO Health Fair took place on Thursday, October 18 in the Milo Bail Student Center. The event was hosted by Student Health Services and the Wellness Stampede and was open to all UNO students, faculty, staff and their families.
We know what you’re thinking: “Health Fair? Sounds boring!” Well, we’re pleased to tell you that the event was far from boring. There were over 35 organizations there-from Alegent Health to Walgreens to MADD-packed with valuable information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If that’s not enough, the organizations also gave away loads and loads of freebies, including pens, coasters, cold-care packages, bottles of water and door prizes.
The UNO Health Fair also offered a number of services to all individuals such as screenings, $22 health screen blood draws, $12 PSAs for men and chair massages. Yes, we said chair massages.
Bummed you missed out on the 2007 UNO Health Fair? Don’t worry, guys…there’s always next year.
University Library Friends Meets Nov. 8
And here's some info from the library that Wendy Townley from my dept. put together. (Wendy keeps a blog of her own, too.)
"University Library Friends will discuss the book “The Shia Revival” by Vali Nasr at noon Thursday, Nov. 8 in Dodge Room A at the Milo Bail Student Center.
Tom Gouttierre, dean of International Studies and programs and director of the Center for Afghanistan Studies, will lead the discussion, which is free and open to the public.
In his book Nasr examines how conflict and instability in Iraq have shaken the balance of power between Sunni and Shia. Nasr is a professor of Middle East and South Asia politics at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.
The discussion of “The Shia Revival” is part of a series of book discussions that occur through the school year.
