- [00:00:07.080]Hello, Husker parents and guests.
- [00:00:08.910]My name is Ethan Carlson.
- [00:00:10.170]I'm a junior studying business management
- [00:00:11.910]from Norfolk, Nebraska,
- [00:00:13.160]and I'm here to share my perspective
- [00:00:14.620]on spiritual wellbeing in college.
- [00:00:16.590]The first thing I'll say is UNL is home to a welcoming
- [00:00:19.640]and supportive community of diverse minds.
- [00:00:22.520]While I consider myself an evangelical Christian,
- [00:00:24.940]there are incredible communities
- [00:00:26.750]of many other Christian denominations
- [00:00:28.970]and other religions.
- [00:00:30.700]The biggest advice I could give your student coming
- [00:00:32.700]to UNL is to get connected.
- [00:00:34.920]No matter where a student stands spiritually.
- [00:00:36.740]The most incredible thing about college
- [00:00:38.210]is that you can find life finding people
- [00:00:40.230]who share your beliefs and will support you.
- [00:00:43.070]Spiritual wellbeing for any person
- [00:00:44.770]is an important aspect of a person's overall wellbeing.
- [00:00:48.000]In college is really what gets me through it all.
- [00:00:50.280]As I mentioned earlier, I am a Christian.
- [00:00:52.150]I grew up in the church
- [00:00:53.110]and my faith has always been an impactful part
- [00:00:54.930]of my life and purpose.
- [00:00:56.490]In college though, I had to learn to be independent,
- [00:00:58.600]even in my own faith journey.
- [00:01:00.250]That is why getting connected in college is vital
- [00:01:02.240]to helping students remain grounded
- [00:01:03.610]and learn more about what they believe.
- [00:01:05.940]For me, spiritual wellbeing has been something
- [00:01:07.520]that I've grown in by being involved in campus ministries
- [00:01:10.270]and finding a home church.
- [00:01:12.210]College can be the place
- [00:01:13.640]where your student grows their faith,
- [00:01:15.600]but it can also be the place where they lose it.
- [00:01:18.010]Ultimately it is their decision,
- [00:01:19.430]but I promise you,
- [00:01:20.270]there are people who want to support your student.
- [00:01:22.580]So encourage them to get connected right away.
- [00:01:25.680]I've had numerous friends
- [00:01:26.900]and mentors encouraged me in some of the toughest times.
- [00:01:30.250]Personally, I can say incredible things
- [00:01:31.810]about the Christian community at UNL,
- [00:01:33.770]but I promise you that there is a home
- [00:01:35.760]for any person, no matter where they stand spiritually.
