- [00:00:00.270]Welcome back.
- [00:00:01.103]I'm Matt Coney and we are pleased to be visiting
- [00:00:03.210]with the chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
- [00:00:05.640]Ronnie Green before the Huskers get ready
- [00:00:08.310]to take on Delaware State here in volleyball.
- [00:00:11.490]Chancellor, great being with you.
- [00:00:12.570]Monday, you kicked off the Matt Rhule era
- [00:00:14.790]for Husker football.
- [00:00:15.810]Today we begin NCAA championship volleyball.
- [00:00:19.020]Huskers enter the post-season tournament
- [00:00:20.580]is the number seven overall seat.
- [00:00:22.590]It's just a big week in Husker Athletics, isn't it?
- [00:00:25.050]It is.
- [00:00:25.883]And of course, there was a lot of anticipation
- [00:00:28.170]of the naming of our new head football coach
- [00:00:31.320]throughout the season, right?
- [00:00:32.820]As it's played out,
- [00:00:34.530]and we're very excited last weekend
- [00:00:36.720]to officially name Matt Rhule as the next head coach,
- [00:00:40.050]31st head coach of Husker Football.
- [00:00:42.780]And they had a great welcome for him
- [00:00:45.030]and his family to Nebraska earlier in this week.
- [00:00:49.320]You know, he and Julie coming to Lincoln
- [00:00:50.970]is gonna be a great addition and we're excited
- [00:00:53.850]about the leadership he's going to bring
- [00:00:56.554]to this next era of Husker football.
- [00:00:59.610]And landing our number one choice on that list
- [00:01:03.150]was always a good place to be.
- [00:01:05.280]Trev conducted a great search,
- [00:01:08.070]very thorough, deliberative search,
- [00:01:09.810]ended up with the right person here.
- [00:01:12.450]So excited about that future.
- [00:01:13.920]And you know, here we are
- [00:01:14.880]and NCAA tournament season for volleyball.
- [00:01:18.630]Always one of the most exciting times of the year
- [00:01:20.580]for the university here for our Husker volleyball program.
- [00:01:24.480]Jane and I personally, we love it this time of year.
- [00:01:27.390]And so round one here in Lincoln with our team
- [00:01:31.050]looking forward to a path to Louisville here ahead.
- [00:01:34.860]It is a big week.
- [00:01:35.697]And a lot of those recently that you've named off,
- [00:01:38.820]in a couple of weeks ago
- [00:01:39.653]you were part of another big announcement
- [00:01:41.400]by the University of Nebraska Foundation
- [00:01:44.220]regarding the only in Nebraska campaign.
- [00:01:46.920]How can Husker fans be a part of it?
- [00:01:48.840]Well, Matt, we were really, really pleased
- [00:01:51.030]on November 18th just here before Thanksgiving
- [00:01:54.300]for the university
- [00:01:55.860]and the University of Nebraska Foundation
- [00:01:57.870]to publicly announce and celebrate the launch
- [00:02:00.690]of the only in Nebraska comprehensive fundraising campaign.
- [00:02:05.070]This is a 10 year campaign.
- [00:02:06.900]This is the five year public phase that was just launched.
- [00:02:12.330]That will raise a goal of over $3 billion
- [00:02:16.080]in private philanthropic support
- [00:02:18.330]for support of the university's programs.
- [00:02:20.910]The University of Nebraska Foundation really serves
- [00:02:23.670]all of the campuses of the NU system with UNL, of course
- [00:02:27.570]being the flagship and largest part of that entity
- [00:02:31.050]of the NU system.
- [00:02:33.150]And this campaign is a pivotal one for us
- [00:02:37.770]that will have a very strong focus and support on student
- [00:02:42.210]for the number one priority in the campaign.
- [00:02:44.820]This time is around our students, both undergraduate
- [00:02:48.810]and graduate students for financial assistance,
- [00:02:51.750]for our students through scholarship support,
- [00:02:55.110]as well as a very strong emphasis on faculty development,
- [00:02:59.940]particularly endowed chairs for faculty for us at UNL,
- [00:03:05.550]as well as a lot of facilities development as well.
- [00:03:09.120]I mean, I mentioned, this is the five year public phase
- [00:03:12.690]that we're now engaged in through 2027.
- [00:03:15.750]There's been a five year silent phase
- [00:03:17.910]that we just have finished
- [00:03:20.220]and we already have raised over half of that $3 billion goal
- [00:03:25.380]that is supporting things like the Go Big Athletics project
- [00:03:29.310]that'll be completed this coming year.
- [00:03:31.290]The Keywood Hall project that's under construction
- [00:03:34.260]at UNL for the new home for the College of Engineering.
- [00:03:38.220]Both very large, over a hundred million dollars
- [00:03:41.460]in private funding raise for those projects
- [00:03:44.190]that are part of that silent phase as well.
- [00:03:46.590]So very excited.
- [00:03:48.312]If I'm a betting man here, I would say
- [00:03:51.240]that I'll bet that we will far exceed that $3 billion goal.
- [00:03:55.590]I'm looking forward to a great campaign ahead
- [00:03:57.690]for the only Nebraska campaign.
- [00:04:00.000]Exciting things.
- [00:04:00.833]Chancellor Green, thank you very much
- [00:04:02.284]for taking some time before volleyball starts here.
- [00:04:04.590]Well, looking forward to a great win tonight
- [00:04:06.480]against Delaware State.
- [00:04:07.620]We welcome 'em to Nebraska, of course, in this bracket
- [00:04:10.470]and looking forward to a great NCAA tournament ahead.
- [00:04:13.380]Go Big Red.
- [00:04:14.490]That's Chancellor Ronnie Green.
- [00:04:15.690]I'm Matt Coney Moore
- [00:04:17.160]before the Huskers and Delaware State coming your way.
