John Skrabal, president emeritus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Parent & Family Association, directs traffic Monday outside Memorial Stadium during move-in for UNL students, which goes through Wednesday. UNL launched a drive-through process on the east side of the stadium where students can pick up move-in swag and handouts before being routed to their dorms. Skrabal said the most gratifying part of move-in day for him was working with the parents themselves. “It’s really nice to be able to say, 'We’ve been through it. You’re gonna be OK and there’s so much support here in the university community.’” More than 3,800 first-year and 1,600 returning students will move in this week.
