Popcorn Pop-Up will return this semester from 3 to 4 p.m. Sept. 4 in the Nebraska Union Crib. The pop-up is free and open to all faculty, staff and students. It will repeat every Thursday.

During the single hour each week, attendees can snack on fresh-popped popcorn and join a game or activity planned for the day. The activity will be different each week, to be chosen by the organization or department being showcased that day. 

The Popcorn Pop-Up events are a chance for hundreds of people to mingle with friends and colleagues in the spirit of being a Husker. There will be a game/activity and chances to learn about campus organizations and departments.

Popcorn Pop-Up is a Student Life collaboration organized by Nebraska Unions; Housing and Dining; and Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement.
