[00:00:04.630]Welcome to our August edition
[00:00:06.510]of Inside Nebraska Business.
[00:00:08.690]New and returning Huskers.
[00:00:10.290]will soon be joining us on campus for the fall semester.
[00:00:13.960]I hope you will join us in welcoming them
[00:00:16.560]at our back-to-school bash
[00:00:18.340]in Howard L. Hawks hall, August 27th.
[00:00:21.167][Kathy] Sponsored by Sandhills Global,
[00:00:24.000]the bash is a wonderful opportunity to make connections,
[00:00:27.480]have some fun, and get some swag.
[00:00:30.450]This fall also marks the fourth anniversary of Hawks hall.
[00:00:34.043][Kathy] The building continues to be a gift
[00:00:36.810]from our alumni and friends that keeps on giving.
[00:00:39.970]It not only raised expectations,
[00:00:42.260]but challenged us to think differently
[00:00:44.200]to build a world-class college.
[00:00:47.640]Last year, we transformed a space in Hawks hall
[00:00:50.910]for our new diversity and inclusion gathering space.
[00:00:54.477][Kathy] DIGS, as it was named by students,
[00:00:57.080]serves as a hub for conversation,
[00:00:59.450]inclusive programs, and gatherings
[00:01:01.980]to help people feel they belong.
[00:01:04.400]Join us in celebrating the DIGS' official grand opening
[00:01:08.000]on Friday, October 1st.
[00:01:10.340]Come see the space, hear from students,
[00:01:12.950]and share your feedback and ideas.
[00:01:15.780]We also launched the inaugural cohort
[00:01:18.610]of the Inclusive Business Leaders program this fall.
[00:01:21.397][Kathy] This cohort-based program
[00:01:23.610]brings together first year business students
[00:01:26.280]who demonstrate a commitment
[00:01:27.810]to making Nebraska Business and the business world
[00:01:30.850]a more inclusive environment for all.
[00:01:35.030]We partnered with Nebraska Athletics
[00:01:37.210]to make their NILbraska program,
[00:01:39.280]one of the most extensive and beneficial in the country.
[00:01:42.167][Kathy] It will prepare student athletes
[00:01:44.430]to maximize their name, image,
[00:01:46.310]and likeness potential long-term.
[00:01:48.980]We leveraged our distinctive offerings
[00:01:51.150]in the Center for Entrepreneurship
[00:01:53.100]and the Clifton Strengths Institute,
[00:01:55.230]and provided interdisciplinary curriculum
[00:01:57.810]created through cross-campus collaboration.
[00:02:01.620]Our graduate programs continue to provide
[00:02:04.390]a high return on investment for our students.
[00:02:06.797][Kathy] We recently added
[00:02:08.450]a Master's Degree in Supply Chain Management
[00:02:11.090]and two new graduate certificate programs
[00:02:13.680]in strategic marketing and marketing analytics.
[00:02:17.200]Successfully completing
[00:02:18.760]one of our seven certificate programs
[00:02:21.170]enable students to smoothly transition
[00:02:23.820]into our online master's programs,
[00:02:26.270]where credits earned from the certificate
[00:02:28.530]can be applied to the degree.
[00:02:30.980]Our highly-ranked MBA at Nebraska was recently recognized
[00:02:34.970]by The Wall Street Journal
[00:02:36.470]for having the fifth lowest debt-to-income ratio
[00:02:39.450]out of more than 500 schools.
[00:02:42.060]Our Center for Executive and Professional Development
[00:02:45.100]is also offering a Power Lunch Series
[00:02:47.740]to help you find solutions to your work challenges.
[00:02:50.980]The in-person lunches are in Lincoln in September
[00:02:54.210]and Omaha in October.
[00:02:55.687][Kathy] Some of the topics include post-pandemic leadership,
[00:02:59.430]the basics of investing, diversity and inclusion,
[00:03:02.800]adaptive leadership, and the power of positivity.
[00:03:07.340]It's important to note
[00:03:08.740]that none of these opportunities happen
[00:03:11.020]without our alumni students, faculty, staff, and friends.
[00:03:16.240]Together, we do big things.
[00:03:19.540]We are Nebraska Business.
