[00:00:04.470]Hello and welcome to our September edition
[00:00:07.380]of Inside Nebraska Business.
[00:00:09.680]This fall marks our third anniversary
[00:00:12.180]in Howard L Hawks Hall.
[00:00:13.810]And this year we are especially grateful.
[00:00:16.480]When the world changed, literally overnight for all of us,
[00:00:19.630]it was Hawks Hall and all of that is inside of it,
[00:00:22.260]which allowed us to transition quickly,
[00:00:24.600]and offer courses remotely.
[00:00:26.810]From our faculty and staff,
[00:00:28.530]to our technology and communication.
[00:00:30.840]Our generous donors ensured Hawks Hall
[00:00:33.580]was built to help us lead the future of business.
[00:00:37.300]Even during a pandemic.
[00:00:40.220]This summer, as students worked, interned remotely,
[00:00:43.770]or took classes online,
[00:00:45.730]we stayed connected and shared their stories.
[00:00:50.100]Hello freshmen.
[00:00:51.414]Hey Huskers.
[00:00:52.530]Hey Huskers.
[00:00:53.720]Welcome incoming College of Business Freshmen.
[00:00:56.860]This fall, we wanted to welcome
[00:00:58.700]our new and returning students in a different way.
[00:01:01.880]So we asked our Nebraska business community
[00:01:04.260]to help us with a one of a kind welcome.
[00:01:07.220]We wanted our students to know
[00:01:09.000]they are part of a larger community.
[00:01:11.300]And though some things are different this fall,
[00:01:13.770]we wear masks, we socially distance,
[00:01:16.380]our core mission stays the same,
[00:01:18.630]empowering students to lead the future of business.
[00:01:22.210]There's no place that I would rather be.
[00:01:24.888]Go Big Red.
[00:01:29.900]To help us, we hired 10 new faculty this fall.
[00:01:33.710]From economics, to marketing,
[00:01:35.890]their teaching and research
[00:01:37.300]will help us advance our strategic goals.
[00:01:40.510]Because we believe in the power of every person,
[00:01:43.690]our community is committed to creating real change.
[00:01:48.300]Associate Dean Rick Barrera
[00:01:50.410]will lead our diversity and inclusion efforts.
[00:01:53.220]Our Inclusive Excellence Gathering Space opens this fall.
[00:01:57.340]And we are also in the process
[00:01:59.560]of creating an Inclusive Excellence Advisory Board.
[00:02:03.166](upbeat music)
[00:02:06.190]A few weeks ago, we welcomed our students back to campus.
[00:02:09.790]Their excitement, even in small groups, filled Hawks Hall.
[00:02:14.060]As they walked through the building wearing masks,
[00:02:16.690]they were proof that Huskers are resilient.
[00:02:19.550]They care about each other,
[00:02:21.070]and they will work hard because
[00:02:23.030]they are a future of business.
[00:02:28.540]Together, we will make this fall successful.
[00:02:31.060]Together, we will make this fall matter.
[00:02:34.110]We are Nebraska Business.
