[00:00:00.390]I'm Shari Veil,
[00:00:01.290]Dean of the College of Journalism and Mass Communications.
[00:00:03.867](intriguing music)
[00:00:09.840]I love being able to see the students
[00:00:11.700]come in from straight out of high school,
[00:00:14.220]going all the way through the program,
[00:00:16.230]and then off to launch their careers.
[00:00:19.050]So, I get to see students who become alumni
[00:00:22.080]who become donors back to the college.
[00:00:23.790]I get the full life cycle of the experience in the college.
[00:00:27.120]I think the biggest thing happening right now
[00:00:28.710]is the launch of our Experience Lab.
[00:00:31.260]All students in the college now spend five hours a week
[00:00:33.930]for at least three semesters
[00:00:35.280]working in one of our media outlets for agencies.
[00:00:37.950]We launched it back in the fall of 2021
[00:00:40.800]and now, we're just scaling it up.
[00:00:42.210]So by this fall, we should have more than 250 students
[00:00:45.030]across all of the different areas of our Experience Lab.
[00:00:48.134](rousing music)
[00:00:53.310]I didn't get into running until my late twenties.
[00:00:56.310]Some friends were putting together a marathon relay team
[00:01:00.210]and I agreed to do the three-mile leg.
[00:01:02.670]Someone got hurt.
[00:01:03.720]I agreed to do the seven-mile leg,
[00:01:05.610]and two weeks later, I ran my first half marathon.
[00:01:08.313](shoes scuffing)
[00:01:09.498]Shari Veil, half marathon, number 20.
[00:01:12.876]Way to go, Shari.
[00:01:14.457]And for me now, 15 years later,
[00:01:16.920]four marathons, 30 some half marathons later.
[00:01:20.490]Go Shari.
[00:01:22.320]I run 'cause it helps me focus, helps me clear my mind.
[00:01:25.950]I'll actually rehearse presentations I have to give.
[00:01:29.370]I've put together theoretical propositions
[00:01:31.770]while out running.
[00:01:32.703]Just helps me think.
[00:01:34.500]And I'll add, too,
[00:01:35.850]there's a little bit of confidence that comes from running.
[00:01:38.220]When you start your day off with a good seven-mile run
[00:01:41.280]and you walk into a meeting,
[00:01:42.810]feels pretty good to know
[00:01:43.680]that you've already accomplished more
[00:01:44.850]than some people will all day.
[00:01:46.161](shoes scuffing)
[00:01:47.550]The Billy Wolff Trail
[00:01:48.870]starts about quarter mile from my house,
[00:01:51.060]so easy to get on it and I can run all over Lincoln.
[00:01:54.990]And it's a great way to see Lincoln,
[00:01:56.850]just running through town on the trails.
[00:01:58.538](upbeat music)
