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 Kristen Hansen (’81) who found Archie near the fishing lure on page 18 of the summer magazine. In college Hansen was involved with The Daily Nebraskan, dance marathon and was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Hansen currently works for DePaul University in community and government relations.

Child’s Play

Future Husker University More than 150 alumni and their young charges gathered on campus in July for the fifth annual Future Husker University. The two-day event, which included an optional overnight stay at a residence hall (complete with bowling on East Campus), featured adults and students attending classes in various colleges. Three generations of the Dinslage family attended. Above right, Matthew Dinslage (’02) assisted his daughter Monica who says she’d like to go into nursing someday. Above left, LeRoy Dinslage (’72) partnered up with his grandson Matthew Jr. to figure out how to create a prosthetic leg for a teddy bear.

Go Big Grad

International Reception International students, their families, friends and members of university leadership gathered in May to mark the graduation of these students from around the world in a reception co-hosted by Global Nebraska and the Nebraska Alumni Association. Amr Sobeh, right, who is from Egypt, earned his bachelor of science in biochemistry. His friend Vishakha Jayasekera, a current Ph.D. student from Sri Lanka, joined him. Guests toasted the achievements of these students and encouraged them to stay connected to their university as they return to their home countries and embark on their careers. Students thanked advisers, mentors and friends for helping them navigate higher education at Nebraska. Fifty-eight countries were represented.

Reunited

Physical Education Trailblazers

The Women’s Physical Education class of 1972 reunited in May for a 50th class reunion. Their weekend was filled with campus tours, a banquet at the Wick Alumni Center and reminiscing about their time as female students entering a world of sports and physical education before Title IX existed. The tight-knit group could be heard repeating that “the class of ’72 is turning 72.” The group toured the new Carolyn Pope Edwards building, which is replacing the class’s beloved Mabel Lee Hall, and set to open in this fall.
