GREENO/DIRKSEN INVITATIONAL
The Nebraska cross country team combines with Nebraska Wesleyan University to host the Greeno/Dirksen Invitational each year. This year’s race will be held at Mahoney Golf Course, which is also the site of the 2018 Big Ten Cross Country Championships. The Greeno/Dirksen Invitational celebrates its 29th year of competition on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 9 a.m. One of the largest annual races in the Midwest, nearly 700 athletes will race for team and individual championships in University and College divisions. The meet began in 1990 when Nebraska Wesleyan combined its meet (the Woody Greeno Invitational) with Nebraska’s annual meet (the Nebraska Invitational) to form what is now the largest cross country event in the state. Nebraska has captured 13 men’s titles and 17 women’s titles. Most recently the Husker men won the 2015 championship, while the women claimed their most recent title in 2011. Ten athletes have captured 13 individual titles, including Fran ten Bensel, who won three consecutive titles in the 1990s, and Lara Crofford, who won back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010. Both the Husker men and women finished second at the 2017 meet. Bonnie Smith placed seventh overall for the women, while Austin Post led the men in third place.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back more than 120 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on January 11, 1895, then-Purdue James E. Delany president James H. Smart and leaders from the University of Chicago, Commissioner University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics. On February 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905. Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987. As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse over the last four years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 different sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country. One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. In January 2014, Michigan State defeated Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. For more than 100 years, it has been the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989. After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) in 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. Annually, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations.
In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992. In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Pennsylvania State University for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members. In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences. In 2006, Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with FOX Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched on Aug. 30, 2007, BTN now produces more than 1,500 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in more than 60 million homes in the U.S. and Canada via the nation’s major cable, satellite and telco providers and more than 300 additional cable operators across the country. BTN2Go is the digital extension of BTN, delivering live and on-demand programming to computers, smart phones and tablets and also is accessible outside the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean via BTN2Go International. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved formal membership applications from the University of Maryland and Rutgers University on November 19 and 20, respectively. Maryland and Rutgers became official Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams. Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten conference center hosts more than 300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly CIC) related committees and coaches’ groups. The headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which brings the conference’s storied academic and athletic history to life. For more information on the Big Ten Experience, go to bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while other conference and institutional administrators utilize the space as necessary when conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C. Delany and his staff work to meet the educational needs of students competing in intercollegiate athletics to allow them to excel in all areas of their lives. The conference office manages 28 different championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of more than 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten. More than 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.

In 2017, Wyatt McGuire moved to No. 5 on the indoor 3,000 meters and outdoor 10,000 meters charts. He took third at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships in the 10,000 meters, the best conference finish by a Husker man in the race since 2002. McGuire went on to finish 10th at the 2017 Big Ten Cross Country Championships, the highest ever finish by a Husker at the Big Ten meet. For the women, three Huskers cracked the all-time top 10 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Harris helped guide Anna Peer to a breakout season as a sophomore in 2015, as she ran a personal-best 34:10.58 in the 10,000 meters to win the Mt. SAC Relays and move to No. 3 all-time in NU outdoor history. Peer also cracked the all-time outdoor top 10 in the 3,000 meters, winning the Musco Twilight title in 9:40.18. She also moved to No. 10 in the 5,000 meters with a time of 16:35.34 at the Pac-12 vs. Big Ten Invitational. Shawnice Williams closed out her Husker career with a runner-up finish in the 800 meters at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships and a third-place 600-meter finish at the indoor meet. In 2014, the Husker men’s DMR team posted a time of 9:32.85, the second-best oversized mark in school history. It came one season after the 2013 DMR squad set a school record for an oversized track with a time of 9:31.71 at the Alex Wilson Invitational, better than any DMR run in school history. Harris also guided the Huskers to more success in 2013. He coached 800-meter specialist Shawnice Williams and 3,000-meter steeplechase specialist Jessica Furlan to honorable-mention All-America awards at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Furlan posted a personal-best time of 9:58.52 in the event at the Mt. SAC Relays to cement her spot at No. 2 on the all-time list at Nebraska. Furlan also won the indoor 3,000 meters title at the Big Ten Indoor Championships. Williams finished second in the 600 meters at the 2013 Big Ten Indoor Championships. She advanced to the 2013 NCAA Championships with a personal-best time of 2:05.26 in the 800 meters at the preliminary round in Austin, Texas. In 2012, Harris coached the women’s indoor distance medley relay team to a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Boise, Idaho, posting a record time of 11:09.83 for first-team All-America honors. Harris also guided Ashley Miller to a stellar senior season, as she earned secondteam All-America honors in the 1,500 meters at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championship and finished with a personal-best time in the event. Miller also earned three conference titles in 2012,

finishing first in the outdoor 800 meters, the outdoor 1,500 meters and the indoor 3,000 meters. She also etched her name into the Husker record books with her time of 9:17.28 in the indoor 3,000 meters, a school record. In addition, she won the 1,500 meters and broke the meet record at the Drake Relays in 2012. Later in the summer of 2012, Miller represented Nebraska at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon, where she competed in the semifinals in the 800 meters and 1,500 meters. Harris has strong ties to Nebraska, as he coached NU’s middle distance runners and the men’s sprinters and hurdlers for seven years before becoming the head cross country and track and field coach at Emporia State in 1992. In his first stint at Nebraska, Harris coached many student-athletes to records that still stand including the women’s outdoor 800 meters (Sharon Powell), the men’s outdoor 400 meters (Ken Waller), the 1,000 meters (Dieudonne Kwizera), the 400-meter hurdles (Mark Jackson) and the men’s 4x400-meter relay. As the Hornets’ head coach for 19 years, Harris was named MIAA Coach of the Year 11 times and brought Emporia State to the top of the Division II ranks, as the men’s squad finished fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2011. Emporia State won 10 MIAA team championships under Harris and had 20 runner-up finishes. In 1999 he became only the third coach to lead both the men’s and women’s teams to MIAA outdoor titles in the same season. The ESU women earned the school’s first top-four finish nationally with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Emporia in 1999. It was the second of three national championship meets at Witten Track/Welch Stadium held under Harris’ leadership. One of the most respected coaches in the track and field community, Harris was the first non-Division I president in the history of the USTFCCCA. The leadership and direction of Harris was essential in bringing the NCAA Outdoor Championships to the Flint Hills in 1995, 1999 and again in 2006. Harris has served in numerous leadership roles within the USTFCCCA and has earned two prestigious awards. He was named the 2001 USTCA Women’s NCAA Division II National Outdoor Coach of the Year and was most recently awarded the Jimmy Carnes Distinguished Service Award by the USTFCCCA. He is the former Division II Executive Council Chairman and was the first non-Division I President of the USTFCCCA, serving in that role from 2005-06 and leading the association through its reorganization in 2005. Harris received his bachelor’s degree in physical education/ social science and a master’s degree in athletic administration from Truman State, formerly Northeast Missouri State University.

BILL MOOS
Athletic Director / 2nd Year / Washington State (1973)
Honor the past. Live the present. Create the future.
Oregon’s annual athletic department budget grew from $18.5 million in his first year to more than $40 million by 2007, becoming 100 percent self-sufficient during that time. Under his direction the Duck Athletic Fund donor base increased from 4,930 to 12,290, resulting in an annual gifts increase from $4.1 million to $15.3 million.
Nine simple words that carry impressive significance and undeniable responsibility. Words that Nebraska’s new athletic director uses to lead his programs and set the tone for building champions in competition and in life. William H. (Bill) Moos was named Nebraska’s Athletic Director on Oct. 15, 2017, and fully assumed those responsibilities on Oct. 23, 2017.
Moos initiated more than $160 million in facility improvements while at Oregon. Included in that was the $90 million Autzen Stadium renovation in 2002, which added 12,000 new seats, 32 new suites, a new Club at Autzen and a new press box to the stadium. In his 12 years, the Ducks ranked first in Pac-10 football attendance 11 times, reaching 100 percent capacity in each of those seasons.
Moos, who became the 15th athletic director in the history of the storied Cornhusker program, brings nearly 25 years of experience as an athletic director at three Division I schools (Washington State, Oregon, Montana) with him to Nebraska. More importantly, he brings an impressive track record of success in building outstanding programs, developing long-term relationships, and for doing what is best for his schools, its fans and most importantly, its student-athletes.
During Moos’ tenure, Oregon athletics captured 13 Pac-10 championships across six different sports. He increased opportunities for women by adding two intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and negotiated an all-inclusive shoe and apparel contract with Nike, one of only 14 in the country at the time. From an academic standpoint during Moos’ tenure, Oregon studentathletes collected 722 academic all-conference selections, 34 Academic All-America selections, nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and one NCAA Top Ten Award. During his first stint as a collegiate athletic director at Montana (1990-95), Moos created an academic support program and hired its first athletic academic coordinator, developed a facility enhancement plan that created more than $4 million in improvements, and lifted the school’s fund-raising efforts to show a 300 percent increase in private and corporate gifts. Academically, Montana student-athletes were equally successful as the athletic department achieved a graduation rate 20 percent higher than the general university enrollment. Under Moos’ watch Montana garnered 269 academic all-conference selections, five Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients.
“When you name the top three, four, five athletic programs in the great positions as an athletic director, Nebraska is in that same breath,” Moos said at his introductory press conference at Memorial Stadium. “I want you to know that my motto has always been, in the 25 years I have been a Division I athletic director and it will be here too is very simple - honor the past, live the present, create the future.” In his first six months at Nebraska, Moos made three coaching hires. He drew universal praise for hiring Scott Frost, the 2017 consensus national coach of the year, as Nebraska’s head football coach in December. Following the spring semester, Moos also hired Mark Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi to lead the men’s tennis program.
Moos began his athletic career as an athletic administrator in 1982 as assistant athletic director at Washington State. He also served as the school’s associate athletic director (1988-90). At Washington State, he was director of development for more than five years and associate director for nearly two years, supervising all external operations. Prior to that, he managed and owned private businesses in Washington and Oregon for eight years. He was a student assistant football coach at Washington State for the 1973 season, then spent part of 1974 in Washington, D.C., serving as a government intern.
He also oversaw several team successes in his first six months in Lincoln. Moos watched the volleyball team win its fifth national title and second in three seasons in December. In 2018, both the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finished in the top six at the NCAA Championships, while bowling finished third and rifle finished eighth. Nebraska also continued its excellence in the classroom, producing four CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including three first-team selections. The awards increased Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 333 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports.
Raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Washington, Moos attended high school in Olympia when his father served in the governor’s cabinet. Moos earned his bachelor’s degree in history from WSU and was a three-year letterman in football before concluding his collegiate career by representing Washington State in the 1972 East-West Shrine All-Star Game in San Francisco.
Moos came to Lincoln after spending seven-plus years at Washington State (2010-17). He previously served 12 highly successful seasons as the athletic director at Oregon (1995-2007). During his time at his alma mater, Moos wasted little time in making his impact felt in Cougar Athletics, spearheading a department-wide rebranding effort with Nike while securing a 10-year, $35 million marketing rights agreement with IMG College. In addition, the 2004 WSU Alumni Achievement Award winner gained Regents approval for a $130 million addition and remodel of Martin Stadium, featuring a remodeled press box with luxury seating, including suites, loge boxes and club room.
He served as co-captain on the Cougars’ 1972 squad and garnered first-team All-Pac-8 Conference honors. Moos and his wife Kendra have three daughters, Christa, Brittany and Kaiti; and two sons, Bo and Benjamin.
“To lead one of the most storied and successful
Also included in the project was a state-of-the-art video board and an 80,000-square-foot football operations building that served as the stadium’s showpiece and opened in May 2014. As the dean of Pac-12 athletic directors, Moos was at the forefront of the conference’s procurement of a 12-year, $3 billion television contract with FOX and ESPN, a landmark agreement in college athletics. Under Moos’ direction, the Cougar Athletic Fund’s Annual Giving program saw an 81 percent increase in gifts while CAF donor members rose from nearly 4,000 to more than 7,500.
athletic programs in the nation is a true honor. Nebraska is a very special place, known far and wide for its phenomenal fans, for doing things the
Additional facility enhancements under Moos included a center-hung video board in Beasley Coliseum that was installed prior to the 2011-12 season, giving Cougar basketball one of the premier fan experiences in the conference. An indoor golf hitting facility was also completed in early 2013, and Lower Soccer Field underwent a major renovation making the venue TV-ready while also providing one of the best playing surfaces on the West Coast, along with the addition of lights and a new scoreboard.
right way, for supporting its students, honoring its athletic legacy and maintaining excellence in athletic success across the board. I am proud to help build upon these Husker traditions.
Other enhancements were made to the Moobery track facility, Bailey-Brayton Field, the basketball practice gym, Gibb Pool and the Simmelink Indoor tennis courts. In Moos’ seven years at WSU, Cougar student-athletes and coaches accounted for 805 academic all-conference selections, 130 all-conference accolades, 45 All-America honors and three Pac-12 Coach-of-the-Year honors.
”
-Athletic Director Bill Moos
Moos served as Oregon’s director of athletics from July of 1995 to 2007. While at Oregon he oversaw a 17-sport athletic department that grew to national prominence during his tenure.

STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE
Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining athletic programs in the country. In 2016-17, Nebraska was one of only two collegiate programs in the nation to attract nearly 1.3 million fans across its seven major team sports through the doors of its world-class facilities. This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in academics, athletics and life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker studentathletes across 24 sports.
UNMATCHED SUPPORT
In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured the way member institutions and conferences, including the Big Ten, govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing unmatched benefits and support to student-athletes. However, this change in governance, and subsequent legislation, paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for student-athletes. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are: • All scholarship student-athletes have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance. • Each student-athlete is offered a free Apple MacBook Air laptop computer to enhance their learning opportunities. • Nebraska has increased resources and support in all academic and performance related areas including but not limited to Academic Services, Life Skills, Athletic Medicine, Athletic Training, Strength and Conditioning, Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory, Nutrition and Sports Analytics. • As part of Nebraska's innovative Post-Eligibility Opportunity (PEO) program, where every studentathlete graduate who has exhausted his or her athletic eligibility has the opportunity to pursue (with Nebraska support) an internship, participate in a study abroad program or attend graduate school within the University of Nebraska system.
PERSONALIZED NUTRITION PLANS
ATHLETIC MEDICINE
Nebraska features one of the most well-trained and highly skilled athletic medicine staffs in the country. Under the guidance of Director of Athletic Medicine Dr. Lonnie Albers and Head Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Jerry Weber (pictured, bottom), the 2018-19 Nebraska athletic medicine staff consists of five physicians, 13 full-time athletic trainers, eight graduate assistant athletic trainers, two full-time in-house athletic psychologists and sports psychiatry consultants who work directly with student-athletes. Nebraska’s medical facilities have long been among the nation’s best, and NU’s athletic medicine center within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex will keep the Huskers on the front line of technology for decades to come. In addition to Nebraska’s North Stadium facility, Haymarket Park, the Bob Devaney Sports Center, Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex all feature athletic medicine areas. The Devaney Center’s Athletic Medicine facility underwent an extensive expansion as part of the Hendricks Training Complex addition in 2011. Nebraska uses advanced equipment, including two anti-gravity treadmills (pictured, top) to help athletes recondition after injuries. Nebraska’s Athletic Medicine Center also features a hydrotherapy area that includes a three-level laned pool, as well as hot and cold plunge tanks (pictured, middle). The Hydroworx 1000 Treadmill Pool is equipped with two cameras underwater for evaluation and assessment.
ACADEMIC COUNSELING
Seven academic counselors, three learning specialists and two assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor eligibility and progress toward graduation.
TUTORIAL SUPPORT
A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support from approximately 75-100 tutors on staff is available from day one up to college graduation in all subject areas. The tutorial program is certified as a model tutoring program by the College Reading and Learning Association.
STUDY HALL
89% GRADUATION RATE
Nebraska’s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Student Life Complex. Student-athletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Student-athletes are required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall also may be determined by the academic counselor. MENTORING Academic support staff serve as mentors to all incoming student-athletes and select returning student-athletes. The student-athletes meet with their mentor weekly to develop time management skills, gather and report academic progress information and discuss academic success strategies.
EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
STUDENT LIFE COMPLEX
Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach. Learning specialists are available to administer and score informal assessments, which include a reading comprehension and a writing assessment. When more in-depth assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined a student-athlete has a learning disability or another medical condition that impedes the student from reaching their academic potential, appropriate accommodations are implemented by the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.
STUDENT-ATHLETE ORIENTATION
Each new student-athlete attends an orientation at the beginning of their academic career. Student-athletes are introduced to staff, faculty, administrators, and a variety of resources that help facilitate the transition into college while enhancing awareness of support services in the Athletic Department and across campus.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
Student-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners.
COMPUTER RESOURCES
The Herman Student Life Complex has two computer labs available for student-athletes. The Scott Technology Center features two tech tables for use on group computer projects and group study sessions. New laptops are provided to all student-athletes for use during their academic career at Nebraska.
The Life Skills team organizes several orientations aimed at acclimating student-athletes to college life. Additionally, all incoming student-athletes attend the fall semester Husker Life Seminar. This interactive class promotes responsible decision-making, personal brand, financial literacy, leadership, involvement and service.
INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS
Every Nebraska student-athlete is assigned a Life Skills staff member who will assist with personal and career development. The meetings help each student-athlete identify a career focus and implement a plan to increase career marketability.
CAREER COMMITMENT & NETWORKING
ELSA FORSBERG HERO LEADERSHIP AWARD
Nebraska Life Skills organizes an annual StudentAthlete Career Fair Networking Night and other career events aimed at connecting Huskers with companies desiring competitive, hard-working, accountable candidates. Athlete Network and Husker Hire Link provide opportunities to explore career opportunities across the country.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Nebraska student-athletes readily accept the rolemodel challenge, collectively giving more than 8,000 hours annually to impact thousands across the state of Nebraska. Outreach events include but are not limited to hospital visits, mentoring, school assemblies, statewide rallies, Make-A-Wish, School is Cool and Husker Heroes.
LEADERSHIP
ERIC KARL II HERO LEADERSHIP AWARD
Nebraska Life Skills provides student-athletes with countless opportunities to enhance leadership skills while distinguishing themselves from the competition. Student-athletes can be members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Uplifting Athletes Chapter or Inner Circle. UNL offers more than 600 recognized student organizations allowing athletes to collaborate with other campus leaders for common goals. Nebraska Life Skills funds and coordinates an annual one-week service abroad trip that allows 20 student-athletes to work together toward a common goal while enriching cultural competencies.
RECOGNITION
In 2017-18, 319 Nebraska student-athletes were named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship team for completing a minimum of six service projects in the calendar year. A host of other recognition opportunities at the institutional, Big Ten and NCAA levels that all reflect the high ideals, character and servant leadership nurtured through community involvement also are available.
POST-ELIGIBILITY OPPORTUNITIES
Since 2015, all student-athletes who letter and graduate will have a three-year window to benefit from one of three post-eligibility opportunities each valued at $7,500. Upon completion of required seminars, graduates can either study abroad, complete an internship or begin graduate school within the University of Nebraska system.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The Life Skills program also is responsible for all Diversity and Inclusion initiatives for Husker Athletics. Since 2016, the Diversity and Inclusion Summit has reached all student-athletes and staff with programming emphasizing respect, acceptance and unity. Numerous other special events are coordinated in collaboration with campus departments highlighting the diversity within Husker Nation.
THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
The University of Nebraska was chartered by the Nebraska Legislature in 1869 as the state’s public university and land-grant institution. Founded in Lincoln, the University of Nebraska was expanded in 1968 into a state educational system now comprising four campuses under the guidance of a Board of Regents and a central administration. Nebraska, which joined the Big Ten Conference in 2011, is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, a consortium of Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago, which has generated unique opportunities for students and faculty by sharing expertise, leveraging resources and collaborating on programs.
BIG TEN ACADEMIC ALLIANCE
As a member of the Big Ten, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, which is the academic consortium of the universities in the Big Ten Conference. The consortium was renamed on June 29, 2016. The BTAA includes all 14 Big Ten Institutions and the University of Chicago. The Big Ten Academic Alliances and the institutions together have annual research expenditures topping $10.2 billion — more than the Ivy League and the University of California System combined — and they educate a total of nearly 600,000 students with approximately 50,000 full-time faculty members.
