- [00:00:08.080]A letter to, do you want me to read it out loud?
- [00:00:10.470]Oh man, you're gonna make me cry already.
- [00:00:12.610]I wasn't expecting this.
- [00:00:14.300]Every encounter I had with Tiffany
- [00:00:16.160]from my sophomore year of high school,
- [00:00:18.400]to receiving my Master's in Entomology,
- [00:00:20.920]resulted in me becoming a better person,
- [00:00:23.100]because Tiffany truly invested in me.
- [00:00:25.910]Karen always pushed me to develop,
- [00:00:27.380]I'm already going to start crying,
- [00:00:28.610]to develop invaluable personal and professional skills.
- [00:00:32.170]Husker Nation sees the sparkly uniforms,
- [00:00:34.840]the pom-poms and the stunts,
- [00:00:36.690]but what they don't see is the woman
- [00:00:38.380]who makes it all happen.
- [00:00:40.820]She is absolutely brilliant,
- [00:00:42.440]a creative genius and a fearless leader.
- [00:00:45.660]Karen is so strong, empathetic, and charismatic
- [00:00:48.270]and will continue to change the lives
- [00:00:49.870]of so many students on the UNL campus, Kaelie Kellner.
- [00:00:52.920]Oh, Kaelie, I love my students.
- [00:00:57.510]Oh my gosh,
- [00:00:58.343]I would probably say you sweet girl, you got me.
- [00:01:02.580]Lauren, you are an amazing young woman.
- [00:01:04.210]I know that you, this is just the beginning
- [00:01:06.610]of the journey for you.
- [00:01:08.060]I know you're gonna go on and pursue great things
- [00:01:10.420]and change the world in mighty ways.
- [00:01:12.450]I'm so very proud of you,
- [00:01:15.330]and this is an honor, thank you so much.
- [00:01:18.280]You just do the things that you have to do
- [00:01:20.870]for the people that you love.
- [00:01:22.490]To see her and the young woman she's become today,
- [00:01:25.730]has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
- [00:01:28.330]And I know that it's really important
- [00:01:30.780]that I lead by example, and that I take time to invest
- [00:01:35.410]in helping other women to be successful
- [00:01:38.050]and to achieve their dreams.
- [00:01:40.031]Oh.
- [00:01:40.864](laughing)
- [00:01:41.873]Oh, what is this?
- [00:01:42.706](laughing)
- [00:01:45.160]Oh, that was homecoming.
- [00:01:48.270]And I made a point to visit her at one of her internships,
- [00:01:51.130]and then I was just so proud
- [00:01:52.260]of everything she was accomplishing.
- [00:01:53.940]This is so special,
- [00:01:55.490]I can't tell you how much this means to me.
- [00:01:57.840]These are the things that they're going to remember
- [00:02:00.120]for forever, and I get to be a part of it
- [00:02:03.330]and I get to share in it.
- [00:02:04.830]And so I'm just glad that I've had a chance
- [00:02:06.660]to be a part of Katie's life.
