"One support service that I used while at UNO is Health Services. It was extremely convenient to have a UNMC affiliated office on campus. I utilized this service when I would get sick, and I received excellent care! It was also nice to not worry about having to pay a co-pay when I would visit since it was covered under my student fees," recounted Sidney Hanel.  ![Quote by Sidney Hanel: "It was extremely convenient to have a UNMC affiliated office on campus.

"I love that UNO is such a welcoming campus and it has a little something for everyone. I received immense support from faculty and professors during my time on campus. I switched my major halfway through my college experience and everyone was extremely encouraging, and they assisted me through the process. I was also able to find a group of people who had similar interests to me on campus and I have made some wonderful friends." ![Quote by Sidney Hanel: "I love that UNO is such a welcoming campus and it has a little something for everyone."](https://blog.unomaha.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/UComm/UComm%20--%20Marketing/Student%20Profiles%20Website/UComm--Marketing--Student%20Profiles--0581_PULL_QUOTE_DESIGN_SH.jpg?width=1275&name=UComm--Marketing--Student%20Profiles--0581_PULL_QUOTE_DESIGN_SH.jpg) With commencement on the way, Sidney shared her plans for the future. "I have accepted a job teaching High School Science at Bellevue East for the 2022-23 school year. I will also be teaching summer school at Bellevue East this year. I start my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction at Peru State in June."   [Previous Post](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/kiana-wells) [View all posts](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory) [Next Post](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/audra-pflug) ### Recommended Reading [Academics](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/topic/academics) ##### [NAVIGATING ARTISTIC INSPIRATION AND COMMUNITY AT UNO](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/kennedy-wallman) By [University of Nebraska at Omaha](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/author/university-of-nebraska-at-omaha) / September 13, 2024 [Continue Reading](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/kennedy-wallman) [Academics](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/topic/academics) ##### [BREAKING LANGUAGE BARRIERS](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/jonathan-camacho-luis-franco) By [University of Nebraska at Omaha](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/author/university-of-nebraska-at-omaha) / July 11, 2023 [Continue Reading](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/jonathan-camacho-luis-franco) [Academics](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/topic/academics) ##### [A JUMP START FORWARD](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/monserrat-medina-hernandez) By [University of Nebraska at Omaha](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/author/university-of-nebraska-at-omaha) / July 11, 2023 [Continue Reading](https://blog.unomaha.edu/mystory/monserrat-medina-hernandez) ### Speak Your Mind ### Subscribe and stay up to date No spam, we promise!
