- [00:00:06.820]Hi, I'm Chancellor Ronnie Green.
- [00:00:09.300]And I'm Dr. Marco Barker, the Vice Chancellor
- [00:00:11.560]for the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
- [00:00:13.870]We welcome you to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln
- [00:00:17.190]and this year's "Husker Dialogues."
- [00:00:19.800]At Nebraska, we believe in the power of every person.
- [00:00:23.270]Every person, every interaction matters.
- [00:00:26.510]That's why "Husker Dialogues" is important.
- [00:00:29.410]Huskers empower other Huskers to use their voices,
- [00:00:32.960]fostering inclusive excellence and building campus community.
- [00:00:36.250]Challenge what you know.
- [00:00:37.790]Challenge what you know.
- [00:00:39.420]Earlier this summer,
- [00:00:40.620]I encouraged the university community
- [00:00:42.740]to embark upon an anti-racism journey.
- [00:00:46.180]The time for change is now.
- [00:00:48.512]Partaking in courageous conversations with our peers
- [00:00:52.080]is a part of that.
- [00:00:53.800]Intentional discussion is a catalyst for change.
- [00:00:57.580]This is the first step of this journey.
- [00:01:00.700]Join the conversation.
- [00:01:02.520]We want you to use this time
- [00:01:04.620]to step out of your comfort zone
- [00:01:06.100]and learn from each other's stories.
- [00:01:08.250]Your story is unique and powerful.
- [00:01:10.330]You have influence.
- [00:01:11.830]Listen and engage with one another.
- [00:01:14.170]Remember, this is a dialogue, not a debate.
- [00:01:17.710]The only thing to gain here is better understanding.
- [00:01:20.970]At Nebraska, we use our collective strengths.
- [00:01:24.154]That's how we do big things.
- [00:01:26.870]Go Big Red.
- [00:01:42.020]The heart of anti-racism is vulnerability.
- [00:01:45.590]Brene Brown spoke these wise words
- [00:01:47.640]in a podcast I listened to
- [00:01:49.451]for Summer 2020 Cooper Conversations on Race,
- [00:01:53.040]"A Way Forward."
- [00:01:54.970]It summarizes my experiences
- [00:01:56.800]for the summer-long conversations I participated in
- [00:02:00.170]about all the different facets of racism.
- [00:02:03.175]It took a large amount of vulnerability
- [00:02:05.270]to sign up for this program.
- [00:02:07.370]At the first session,
- [00:02:08.650]my heart was beating in my throat
- [00:02:10.280]and my nerves were through the roof.
- [00:02:12.470]What was I, a new freshman in college,
- [00:02:15.060]a white girl from the Midwest,
- [00:02:17.000]a recent Catholic high school graduate
- [00:02:19.230]doing a Zoom discussion about race?
- [00:02:22.580]I left my comfort zone far behind
- [00:02:25.140]when I signed up for the discussions.
- [00:02:27.380]But when I hit play on the first podcast,
- [00:02:29.940]I realized the opportunity before me.
- [00:02:32.414]An opportunity to listen, to learn and to grow.
- [00:02:37.054]As the summer weeks flew by, I listened to podcasts
- [00:02:40.580]on the origins of slavery in the United States,
- [00:02:43.096]if videos of black people dying were helpful,
- [00:02:46.390]the arguments of blue lives matter and defunding the police,
- [00:02:50.130]the role Colin Kaepernick played in the movement,
- [00:02:52.810]and I read the book "How to Be an Antiracist"
- [00:02:55.990]by Ibram X. Kendi.
- [00:02:58.070]It takes vulnerability
- [00:02:59.650]to enter into a conversation or space
- [00:03:02.040]where you are not the expert
- [00:03:03.690]and triggering words like privilege,
- [00:03:05.730]racist and bias are often used.
- [00:03:09.140]The first step is actively listening to the stories
- [00:03:12.350]that others have to tell.
- [00:03:14.490]In the Zoom discussions, I grew the most
- [00:03:16.899]while listening to the answers of the other participants.
- [00:03:20.620]Their experiences, observations and questions
- [00:03:24.350]offered new perspectives and different angles
- [00:03:26.950]of situations I had previously thought unproblematic.
- [00:03:31.160]After listening for hours,
- [00:03:32.760]and occasionally offering my thoughts,
- [00:03:34.930]I can confidently say
- [00:03:36.580]that I'm actively working on being an anti-racist.
- [00:03:40.200]Now, here I am as a freshmen
- [00:03:42.730]with the world at my fingertips.
- [00:03:44.675]My learning and growing does not stop
- [00:03:47.460]at the end of my summer Zoom sessions.
- [00:03:49.795]We are the generation
- [00:03:51.740]that will inherit a world of turmoil and division.
- [00:03:55.360]As an individual, you have the ability
- [00:03:57.520]to start the ripples of equality and understanding
- [00:04:00.010]in your daily life.
- [00:04:01.940]Do not settle for sitting in similarity and silence.
- [00:04:05.860]With a campus full of opportunities,
- [00:04:08.150]I ask that we take full advantage of them,
- [00:04:10.740]listening to the stories being told
- [00:04:12.800]and reconsidering our previous assumptions and beliefs.
- [00:04:16.970]Be courageous in your words and actions.
- [00:04:19.539]To all my new classmates of color,
- [00:04:21.950]we see you, we hear you,
- [00:04:24.120]and we want to amplify your voices
- [00:04:26.040]and listen to your stories.
- [00:04:28.480]To the whole class of 2024,
- [00:04:30.700]we have an audience listening to us, so speak up.
- [00:04:34.274](upbeat music)
- [00:04:42.820]We've all heard the stories
- [00:04:44.290]about aliens visiting the Earth
- [00:04:46.320]and kidnapping people and animals.
- [00:04:48.710]But just for a moment,
- [00:04:49.760]imagine that this is not just a story,
- [00:04:51.920]but it just happens to you.
- [00:04:54.220]The aliens have invaded the Earth,
- [00:04:56.140]you are handcuffed in a chair with a taped mouth
- [00:04:59.330]so you cannot easily speak.
- [00:05:01.940]Outside the room where you are locked up, you can only hear
- [00:05:04.980]some creatures talking in their own language.
- [00:05:08.380]How would you feel in that particular moment?
- [00:05:11.950]Helpless, frustrated and terrified, right?
- [00:05:15.840]This is how one of my friends,
- [00:05:18.060]an alienated individual, an international student, felt.
- [00:05:22.690]This is how many international students
- [00:05:24.380]actually feel as well.
- [00:05:26.885]I have a Chinese friend who watches a lot of sci-fi movies,
- [00:05:30.170]and he used that cinematic scene
- [00:05:32.810]to describe his experience
- [00:05:35.000]when he found himself stuck in a study group
- [00:05:38.300]as the only one with the different nationality.
- [00:05:41.780]Unfortunately, I was part of that group,
- [00:05:43.950]and we usually discuss group activities
- [00:05:46.670]in my mother language, Kinyarwanda.
- [00:05:49.730]He felt very frustrated and alienated from the group.
- [00:05:54.368]At first, when he shared the story,
- [00:05:56.860]I failed to sympathize with him,
- [00:05:58.860]until I attended the Inclusive Leadership Workshop.
- [00:06:02.900]From the retreat, I learned how to ask
- [00:06:05.820]the two of the most important questions.
- [00:06:08.540]First, what does inclusivity mean?
- [00:06:11.710]Inclusivity means actually leveraging
- [00:06:13.981]different ideas and perspectives and backgrounds
- [00:06:17.360]to formulate and deliver a common value.
- [00:06:20.420]Second, who is an inclusive leader?
- [00:06:24.520]An inclusive leader is a person
- [00:06:27.080]who respects and harnesses team diversity
- [00:06:30.130]to achieve the highest potential of everyone on the team.
- [00:06:34.260]We failed to do that.
- [00:06:36.870]Although we have the common goal as a group,
- [00:06:39.130]we failed to incorporate
- [00:06:40.690]our friend's ideas and perspectives into our group work,
- [00:06:44.140]because we did not care much about his needs.
- [00:06:48.230]We could have done a better job
- [00:06:49.720]of making him feel included in the group.
- [00:06:53.010]We could have decided to use a common language
- [00:06:55.520]whenever we had to discuss group activities.
- [00:06:57.550]That's just so simple.
- [00:06:59.670]There are so many different ways that international students
- [00:07:02.670]may feel alienated or excluded
- [00:07:05.050]and stuck in a strange land with strange creatures,
- [00:07:07.960]just like you and aliens.
- [00:07:10.700]It can be because of different skin colors,
- [00:07:12.448]different religion, different sex, gender orientation,
- [00:07:16.730]different food preferences,
- [00:07:18.320]a different socioeconomic status and so forth.
- [00:07:21.900]So how do we foster meaningful conversation
- [00:07:24.690]while creating an inclusive community?
- [00:07:27.820]I can share a few tips.
- [00:07:30.360]First, stay curious about other people's experiences.
- [00:07:34.210]Second, express your views,
- [00:07:36.740]but recognize other possible views about anything.
- [00:07:40.120]There are even multiple views
- [00:07:41.640]on how to peel a banana effectively and appropriately.
- [00:07:45.580]Recognizing different perspectives
- [00:07:48.030]protects you from setting your perspective
- [00:07:50.420]as the standard on which you should judge others,
- [00:07:53.440]which is not good.
- [00:07:55.430]Thirdly, apologize in case of conscious
- [00:07:59.010]or unconscious biases.
- [00:08:00.660]We all make mistakes,
- [00:08:02.390]especially when we're exposed to a new way of life.
- [00:08:05.160]What you watch and listen to can drive you into
- [00:08:08.370]making false associations of stereotypical behaviors
- [00:08:11.920]to a specific group of people.
- [00:08:14.170]Which is not good at all.
- [00:08:16.320]Lastly, amplify what makes us one and united.
- [00:08:21.900]Thank you.
- [00:08:23.664](upbeat music)
- [00:08:31.870]I've always been an ambitious learner
- [00:08:33.870]and fought hard for my many achievements in life.
- [00:08:36.758]Upon entry at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln,
- [00:08:39.478]I have claimed spaces that were not historically mine.
- [00:08:43.560]As a first-generation Black Muslim woman,
- [00:08:46.780]I recognize that being in higher education
- [00:08:49.000]is a privilege that is not presented to many,
- [00:08:51.800]especially those with my complex, overlapping identities.
- [00:08:55.860]It was during my first semester of college
- [00:08:57.750]that I sat in academic spaces, organizations,
- [00:09:01.020]activities that actively participated
- [00:09:04.100]in the erasure of my identity, of my Blackness.
- [00:09:07.910]My Blackness in academic spaces
- [00:09:10.040]does not thrive as it does in the arms of my community.
- [00:09:13.630]I learned quickly
- [00:09:14.510]that my Blackness must learn how to occupy spaces,
- [00:09:18.000]advocate for itself,
- [00:09:19.350]and challenge the very frameworks of my university.
- [00:09:22.576]I'm historically a first, not just for myself.
- [00:09:26.080]I am an active participant
- [00:09:28.100]in the change of culture here at UNL.
- [00:09:31.290]This is where I found myself
- [00:09:32.710]understanding the importance of claiming space.
- [00:09:35.750]That this campus can be what I wish it to be.
- [00:09:38.323]Over the course of my three years here,
- [00:09:41.280]I served as president of the African Student Association,
- [00:09:45.070]founded the Association of Future Black Lawyers,
- [00:09:47.670]and I have been competitively involved in speech and debate.
- [00:09:51.130]Now, as a junior, I'm president of the Black Student Union,
- [00:09:55.340]a College of Arts and Sciences senator,
- [00:09:57.550]and I created a community COVID-19 assistance program
- [00:10:01.430]called BSU Care Bags.
- [00:10:03.730]All of this work I have done during my time here at UNL
- [00:10:06.950]is because there's a need to build
- [00:10:08.920]and foster community for Black students to thrive.
- [00:10:12.420]A community that can then mentor, nurture
- [00:10:15.340]and provide a resilient backbone
- [00:10:17.310]for the future Black scholars
- [00:10:19.000]that will find their way on this campus.
- [00:10:21.580]To define a scholar would be
- [00:10:24.278]to take every aspect of their existence into perspective.
- [00:10:27.696]My own interest in law
- [00:10:29.580]is not only for my own intellectual development,
- [00:10:32.379]but to dedicate myself to future Black scholars.
- [00:10:35.696]As a lawyer,
- [00:10:37.310]I will hold the revolutionary significance
- [00:10:39.760]of speaking my truth,
- [00:10:41.540]articulating Black experiences,
- [00:10:43.760]and constructing my identity
- [00:10:45.690]through the act of community upliftment.
- [00:10:48.860]This is why I need the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
- [00:10:52.640]In turn, UNL needs me.
- [00:10:56.278]UNL has an obligation to invest in me, in us,
- [00:11:01.160]in our becoming,
- [00:11:03.120]so that we can hold it accountable to its own values.
- [00:11:06.660]UNL needs all of us.
- [00:11:08.379]UNL needs me to cultivate a way
- [00:11:10.710]for Black scholars to reclaim our stories.
- [00:11:13.760]UNL needs each one of you
- [00:11:15.860]to challenge what it gives you,
- [00:11:17.440]to create your own space
- [00:11:19.430]and to take ownership of your time here.
- [00:11:22.420]Remember how revolutionary it is for you to take up space,
- [00:11:25.534]to be a Husker.
- [00:11:27.500]Every building on this campus belongs to us
- [00:11:30.180]as students of this university.
- [00:11:32.900]I have truly struggled to find home in this place,
- [00:11:36.150]but I have given it all my attention
- [00:11:38.420]and will leave it better.
- [00:11:40.050]Just like all of you will.
- [00:11:42.210]As an aspiring lawyer
- [00:11:43.420]I know the importance of truth,
- [00:11:45.710]and only through honest efforts will it be revealed.
- [00:11:49.070]This is how my story will continue.
- [00:11:50.900]And this is how I will hold all truths to be evident.
- [00:11:55.259](upbeat music)
- [00:12:03.450]Failure is a better teacher than success could ever be.
- [00:12:06.940]As an upperclassmen,
- [00:12:07.930]I continue to find many opportunities to assume leadership.
- [00:12:11.120]I've had to modify my leadership styles with each new role.
- [00:12:14.371]My leadership evolved with each of these roles.
- [00:12:16.950]However, it was my failures in these roles,
- [00:12:19.970]as well as the established leaders at UNL,
- [00:12:21.750]that served as the guide to my development.
- [00:12:24.280]Throughout my college experience,
- [00:12:25.710]I've been able to improve myself and refine my goals.
- [00:12:28.530]I sought after inspiration and intellectual guidance
- [00:12:30.630]from many people, including Chancellor Green,
- [00:12:32.710]as well as other campus leaders
- [00:12:34.070]who will no doubt have a profound impact on my future.
- [00:12:37.280]One individual in particular continues to be indispensable
- [00:12:40.890]to my intellectual development,
- [00:12:42.510]and that person is Dr. Jason Kautz
- [00:12:44.660]of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln
- [00:12:46.340]Department of Chemistry.
- [00:12:48.170]I worked under him as a chemistry teaching assistant
- [00:12:50.260]and learned how being supportive
- [00:12:52.130]is more valuable than being informative.
- [00:12:54.690]Dr. Kautz is someone I did not initially anticipate
- [00:12:57.600]playing an integral role in my life.
- [00:13:00.180]However, his mentorship became invaluable
- [00:13:02.380]midway through my last semester,
- [00:13:03.930]as it was my first semester
- [00:13:05.130]as a chemistry teaching assistant.
- [00:13:07.090]This was my first opportunity to teach
- [00:13:08.760]and I struggled to effectively communicate material
- [00:13:11.280]in my first few weeks,
- [00:13:12.470]causing students confusion
- [00:13:14.339]on how to complete the lab experiments.
- [00:13:15.950]This confusion left many disinterested
- [00:13:17.700]in engaging with the material
- [00:13:19.100]and making their experience less valuable.
- [00:13:21.660]I felt discouraged by the behavior of my students,
- [00:13:24.270]but wasn't receptive to the initial suggestions
- [00:13:26.630]that Dr. Kautz provided me to improve.
- [00:13:28.739]Still, I desired to become
- [00:13:30.930]a stronger leader in the classroom
- [00:13:32.720]because I recognized the impact
- [00:13:34.350]that I could have as a teacher.
- [00:13:36.550]In order to improve both my performance
- [00:13:38.530]and my students' experiences in lab,
- [00:13:40.590]I confided in Dr. Kautz,
- [00:13:42.190]expressing how lost I felt when conducting the lab,
- [00:13:44.840]and finally decided to ask for his help.
- [00:13:47.880]In response to my request,
- [00:13:49.300]Dr. Kautz took on an active role as my mentor,
- [00:13:51.650]guiding me by advising tips and tricks
- [00:13:54.515]that served him well
- [00:13:55.942]during his time as a professor of practice.
- [00:13:58.398]By adapting his lessons into my teaching philosophy,
- [00:13:59.320]I constructed my unique style of teaching
- [00:14:01.280]and gained the competence I needed
- [00:14:02.890]to lead my students through each experiment.
- [00:14:05.310]With these changes, my students were
- [00:14:06.850]more interested in participating in lab.
- [00:14:09.390]Fortunately, Dr. Kautz helped change how I approached teaching
- [00:14:12.370]and it was making a big difference.
- [00:14:14.510]Upon later reflection of this experiment,
- [00:14:16.620]I realize now that
- [00:14:17.840]I didn't want to believe that my teaching style was wrong.
- [00:14:20.710]With repeated attempts to connect the material,
- [00:14:22.880]nothing changed.
- [00:14:24.540]I needed to look at the situation
- [00:14:25.770]from a different perspective
- [00:14:26.820]and take the advice seriously.
- [00:14:28.830]Eventually I became more concerned with
- [00:14:31.010]reaching the students
- [00:14:31.843]than simply the methodology I was using.
- [00:14:34.910]Overall,
- [00:14:35.800]the guidance that I found throughout my involvement
- [00:14:38.040]at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln
- [00:14:39.720]has played a major role in how I act as a leader,
- [00:14:42.700]as well as my ability to serve as a mentor
- [00:14:45.250]to the younger students of our student body.
- [00:14:48.060]The failure that I overcame revealed that some development
- [00:14:50.795]is not simply an individual effort, but a team effort.
- [00:14:55.450]It's not always good to handle challenges alone,
- [00:14:57.750]especially if you are leading.
- [00:14:59.595]Students, it's okay to ask for help.
- [00:15:02.694]So don't hesitate.
- [00:15:04.952](upbeat music)
- [00:15:13.297]My name is Kennedy Nguyen.
- [00:15:14.340]My pronouns are he, him, his.
- [00:15:17.200]I'm a senior in marketing out of the College of Business.
- [00:15:20.020]I'm also an international student from Vietnam.
- [00:15:23.970]Three years ago, me and many of my friends
- [00:15:26.730]were in the same spot as you.
- [00:15:29.380]Some of us knew what we want to do after college
- [00:15:32.150]and had a perfect plans in mind.
- [00:15:34.900]Some of us had no clue about college,
- [00:15:37.010]so undeclared major as a freshman is totally normal.
- [00:15:41.870]I chose to pursue my career in marketing
- [00:15:44.240]as it is the creative side of the business world.
- [00:15:48.270]It is also a massive field with endless choices of career.
- [00:15:52.690]However, during my freshman year,
- [00:15:55.100]I told myself that the last thing I want to do is sales,
- [00:15:59.300]and I was dead wrong.
- [00:16:00.990]My perspective changed after having a sales class
- [00:16:04.590]as a requirement.
- [00:16:06.430]Before that class, my typical stereotype on salespeople
- [00:16:10.770]was that they are extrovert,
- [00:16:13.300]talking a lot and trying to sell you something.
- [00:16:16.160]Like an annoying insurance agent bombarding your phone,
- [00:16:19.616]or when you went to McDonald's
- [00:16:21.950]and they ask if you want to upsize your meal.
- [00:16:24.850]So as an introvert transgender,
- [00:16:27.350]I thought I wouldn't fit the field.
- [00:16:29.637]However,
- [00:16:31.500]after that entry-level class
- [00:16:33.680]actually gave me a better appreciation for sales.
- [00:16:37.251]We don't realize that we sell almost every time and moment.
- [00:16:42.400]If you have a job,
- [00:16:43.940]you already practice selling yourself
- [00:16:46.580]for the position or a promotion.
- [00:16:49.640]If you're dating, either you or your significant other
- [00:16:53.610]were already selling yourself
- [00:16:55.670]to your special one on your first date.
- [00:16:58.740]Even this little speech I'm giving to you
- [00:17:01.080]is an example of sales.
- [00:17:03.510]You see, when we don't fully understand something,
- [00:17:06.870]we tend to be afraid
- [00:17:08.500]and to keep our distance from it.
- [00:17:11.210]In worst cases,
- [00:17:12.610]we even believe in rumors and stereotype that are not true.
- [00:17:17.960]Though the sale class was a requirement,
- [00:17:21.230]if I wasn't open up myself to learn new things,
- [00:17:25.050]I would never know what is truly behind a label.
- [00:17:28.640]My point is, your college years
- [00:17:30.920]will be full of chances and surprise.
- [00:17:33.840]So please,
- [00:17:35.270]always keep an open mind to learn and challenge yourself.
- [00:17:39.640]Remember those friends of mine I mentioned
- [00:17:41.690]with the perfect plans?
- [00:17:43.640]They reached their goal as they wanted,
- [00:17:46.710]but also gained other unexpected skill sets
- [00:17:49.780]and experiences along the way.
- [00:17:52.280]Performing on stage has never been my thing
- [00:17:55.360]for the majority of my life.
- [00:17:57.460]But then I asked myself, why not?
- [00:18:00.071]And took a step out of my comfort zone.
- [00:18:02.689]And guess what?
- [00:18:04.650]I was rocking it last year with "We Are Nebraska."
- [00:18:07.510]In simple words,
- [00:18:09.140]sexual orientation is who you want to go to bed with,
- [00:18:11.681]while gender identity is who you want to go to bed as.
- [00:18:16.881](audience applauding)
- [00:18:19.980]Spoiler alert, I shared my story of being kicked out of prom
- [00:18:23.300]during my senior year of high school.
- [00:18:25.236]And in case you might wonder, I wasn't a troublemaker,
- [00:18:28.822]but it was due to my identity as a transgender.
- [00:18:32.820]Let's save that story for another time.
- [00:18:34.950]Some of you might share the same feelings with my story
- [00:18:38.990]or other people's here.
- [00:18:41.010]If you don't, that's totally fine.
- [00:18:43.830]This is a wonderful opportunity to learn
- [00:18:47.180]and be part of a diverse and inclusive community.
- [00:18:51.230]I'm so glad to have you here with us all
- [00:18:53.622]and welcome to our Husker family.
- [00:18:56.780]After this, please feel free to reach out to any of us
- [00:19:00.000]for a quick chat or anything.
- [00:19:02.260]Thank you and welcome.
- [00:19:04.360]And remember, challenge yourself
- [00:19:07.200]and have an open mind, always.
- [00:19:10.278](upbeat music)
- [00:19:19.001]Hello, Huskers.
- [00:19:20.440]My name is Saisha Adhikari and I serve as
- [00:19:22.497]the ASUN Student Government External Vice President.
- [00:19:25.950]ASUN is the largest student organization on campus
- [00:19:28.870]and serves to represent both
- [00:19:30.240]undergraduate and graduate students at UNL.
- [00:19:33.460]We serve as a voice of students
- [00:19:35.020]and represent student interests
- [00:19:36.530]while allocating millions of dollars in student fees.
- [00:19:39.720]Two of our most important projects include
- [00:19:41.790]Converge Nebraska and the Green Bandana Project.
- [00:19:44.960]If you gained a valuable experience from "Husker Dialogues,"
- [00:19:47.780]I encourage you to participate in Converge Nebraska.
- [00:19:50.455]This program allows students the opportunity
- [00:19:53.140]to sit with another student
- [00:19:54.600]of a different political ideology than them,
- [00:19:56.870]and have a civil discussion
- [00:19:59.821]about how we can learn to approach our disagreements
- [00:20:01.000]with respect, empathy and understanding.
- [00:20:04.030]If interested, you first fill out a Google survey
- [00:20:06.380]about your political beliefs.
- [00:20:08.090]Then, ASUN will match you
- [00:20:09.970]with someone who holds a different perspective than you.
- [00:20:12.960]You and your partner will be given
- [00:20:14.270]a guide for conversation points,
- [00:20:16.020]which focuses around the discussion about
- [00:20:18.150]the development of your opinions.
- [00:20:20.660]Another student-led initiative is the Green Bandana Project.
- [00:20:23.372]As you're walking on campus,
- [00:20:25.340]you may see hints of green in the sea of Husker red.
- [00:20:28.110]This green bandana,
- [00:20:29.170]that over 3000 students carry on their backpacks or wrists,
- [00:20:32.730]symbolizes the support of mental health resources.
- [00:20:35.780]A resource card is also provided with each green bandana
- [00:20:37.909]that lists both on- and off-campus mental health resources
- [00:20:42.560]for students who are seeking to be connected.
- [00:20:45.360]By raising awareness about mental health,
- [00:20:47.280]and showing our support to our peers who may be suffering,
- [00:20:50.440]we are taking the steps
- [00:20:51.610]towards de-stigmatizing mental health
- [00:20:53.530]to ensure a happier, healthier environment.
- [00:20:56.510]For more information about ASUN,
- [00:20:58.460]our campus initiatives, and ways to get involved,
- [00:21:01.270]please visit our website
- [00:21:02.430]or reach out to any member within the organization.
- [00:21:05.610]Huskers, these unprecedented times are challenging,
- [00:21:08.630]but we're in this together.
- [00:21:10.300]Let's continue to stay engaged,
- [00:21:12.150]involved, physically healthy and mentally healthy.
- [00:21:15.400]Together, we can make the most enriching college experience.
- [00:21:18.391]Again, thanks for taking part in "Husker Dialogues."
- [00:21:21.270]Stay tuned to hear from your fellow students.
- [00:21:23.690]You'll have a lot to talk about.
- [00:21:25.292](upbeat music)
