PUTTING IN THE WORK. LIKE ONLY NEBRASKA COULD.

Only in Nebraska: A Campaign for Our University’s Future

is a historic initiative to engage 150,000 unique benefactors to raise $3 billion and build the future Nebraska needs right now.

And it starts at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, with a relentless focus on student access and success. As part of this campaign, we will raise the funds that will create new merit- and need-based scholarships, develop new programs and opportunities for our students and ensure that future generations of Huskers will have what it takes to succeed in their lives and careers.

It’s all possible. And it’s all happening right here.

Cruise Big Red Alumni

Adventures

A group of Nebraska alumni came together last fall to cruise the Mediterrean from Barcelona to Rome aboard Oceania’s Nautica — a smaller ship with 650 guests. Above: Dirk and Kris (’91) Wagner enjoyed the pool alongside Annie and Rick (’75) Berkheimer. At right: Gary Miller (’76), left, and Don Lloyd (’66, ’70) became fast friends onboard with their ever-changing Husker attire — the envy of many vacationers. The group bonded over shared Husker experiences from their college days and a love of travel.

Member Benefit

Football Ticket Access

Nebraska Alumni Association members can take advantage of their Husker football ticket access benefit to single games beginning March 15. Life members have priority access followed by annual members. Highlights include the home debut of Head Coach Matt Rhule vs. Northern Illinois on Sept. 16, defending Big Ten Champion Michigan on Sept. 30 and Homecoming against Purdue on Oct. 28. For details, visit huskeralum.org/football.

Find Archie!

Morrill Hall’s Archie is hiding somewhere in the magazine, like only a 20,000-year-old mammoth can. Find him, email us with his location at alumni@ huskeralum.org and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a Husker prize. Congratulations to Elsa Knight (’19, ’22), who found him on page 42 of the winter magazine hanging out with Coach John Cook. Knight received her bachelor’s degree in classics and religious studies; and political science; and earned her juris doctorate as well. She is legal counsel for the Urban Affairs Committee in the Nebraska Legislature.
