Want to learn how to decorate a cake?
Next week during Women’s Health Week, the Olson Center for Women’s Health will provide two in-person wellness classes, along with educational offerings on food insecurity and stroke issues for women.
On Wednesday, May 15, from 3-4:30 p.m., Emma Freedman, of the Freedman Baking Company of Council Bluffs, will provide the tools and instruction for hands-on cake decorating techniques. Each attendee will decorate their own cake to take home. The cost to attend is $40 and covers the supplies and cake.
On Friday, May 17, from noon-1 p.m., the Silent Book Club of Omaha will host a reading sessions at UNMC. Readers can bring their choice of reading material, such as books, magazines or comics and a lunch if they’d like. The session will start with a brief social time and then time for quiet reading. It’s an opportunity for participants to do something for themselves and perhaps find a new book recommendation.
Also offered during Women’s Health Week are Zoom presentations on “Food Insecurity in Nebraska,” presented by Natalia Santos of the UNMC College of Public Health, on Tuesday, May 14, and “Stroke and Women,” presented by Marco Gonzalez Castellon, MD, of the UNMC Department of Neurologic Sciences. Both sessions are noon-1 p.m.
Pre-registration is required for all events, and the in-person events have limited space. Call the Olson Center at 402-559-6345 or email the Olson Center to pre-register. Additional information for the in-person events will be provided with registration.

Adobe login process to change May 15
On May 15, UNMC IT will change the way in which users log in and sign in to use Adobe products. Instead of creating a standalone username and password, users will begin using their standard corporate email account and password. This means that users will no longer use their Adobe account to sign in but rather their UNMC account credentials.
This applies only to UNMC users who use Adobe products, such as Acrobat or Photoshop. The applications and versions will remain the same, but the account and password used to sign in will be switched to users’ UNMC account.
See this previous article if any Adobe users have files stored in an Adobe account.
