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 Sarah Meng (’99), of Cheney, Kan., who found Archie on page 57 of our summer edition. Meng, who earned a veterinary science degree, was a founding member of the UNL equestrian team.

Alumni of Color Network

In the wake of re-launching the Alumni of Color Network, the Nebraska Alumni Association is listening. “We know that alumni volunteers play a critical role in helping us reconnect our university to our alumni of color across the country,” Director of Alumni Engagement Jordan Gonzales (’17) said. “Our hope is that alumni will join this network and help provide guidance not only to the alumni association but the university in determining the size and scope of outreach and engagement efforts.” For that reason, 100 passionate Huskers convened earlier this year for an Alumni of Color Town Hall to share their vision on a future for the university that serves everyone.

In the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, Assistant Professor of Theatre Michelle Harvey turned different colored lights on Husker mascot Lil’ Red so students could see how he changed in different environments.
