The HUB

Peta-Gaye Clachar

The Hub is our Animal Science student center, located in the Animal Science Complex, A214. The Hub’s mission is to facilitate a communal environment to help students make connections and be successful throughout their journey at Nebraska. The goals of the Hub are to share internship and career opportunities, and provide a conducive space for study and study groups. Study tables, a microwave, computer for printing, and couches to take a break in between classes or catch up on current events through magazines are all available.

Weekly resume labs are held from 12-2 p.m. on Wednesdays.
