Today we said thank you & farewell to our outgoing student regents. These young leaders have been a source of advice & friendship during their time on the Board, and I’m honored to have worked with them. Our students show me again & again that Nebraska’s future is in good hands.

I hear the theme at @pendragonupdate this year is BE EPIC. And today was. Regent Jim Scheer & I had the incredible honor of signing our 1st President’s Scholarship recipient, Caleb Kelly, to Team Nebraska. Can’t wait to welcome Caleb to @UNLincoln this fall. Now, who’s next?!

Excited to be at @UNKearney this morning to sign the inaugural cohort of Kearney Teachers Tomorrow scholarship recipients. This is a great partnership between UNK & Kearney Public Schools that will keep more homegrown talent in Kearney to become rural Nebraska’s future educators.

I’m sometimes asked what’s the best part of my job. It’s our 50,000 students, hands down. Got to meet amazing student leaders tonight at our annual dinner honoring #NEleg colleagues for their hard work & service. I can say without a doubt, Nebraska’s future is in great hands.

On Feb. 15, 1869, the University of Nebraska was created with a mission to improve the lives of our citizens through education. That mission has stood the test of time. Happy Charter Day to our University, and here’s to the next 155 years of serving the great state of Nebraska!

A special University of Nebraska tradition: I ❤️ NU Day at the Capitol, where we gathered with students & supporters to thank senators and share stories of the university’s impact. Gratifying to hear from so many Nebraskans whose lives have been touched by NU just like mine has.

Nothing like state basketball & getting to see Nebraska’s best young athletes compete. Refereeing isn’t all that different from my day job… You make tough calls, you absorb the chaos, and you don’t panic if you hear some heckling. Thanks @ketvlincoln for the fun conversation.
