By UNL senior staff, Kiah Haslett

Every year, the senior staff at University of Nebraska-Lincoln pick a topic to explore various ways for the student body as a special project. They have a budget for travel and special publication. This year, the staff picked UNL's move to the Big Ten and the school's lack of preparation for that move.

Haslett was a head editor on the project, and she helped craft story ideas and edit from start to finish. She also wrote one of the stories.
