[00:00:02.000]To the Class of 2024,
[00:00:03.875]our college years were anything but ordinary.
[00:00:06.500]As the pandemic canceled high school
[00:00:08.208]graduations across the country,
[00:00:10.166]we opened new chapters before closing the last.
[00:00:13.250]In August of 2020,
[00:00:14.791]we started our fall semester
[00:00:16.375]during a global pandemic.
[00:00:18.208]Our first college classes were on Zoom.
[00:00:20.833]The gates to Memorial Stadium were closed
[00:00:22.814]and the game day
[00:00:23.732]Stadium were closed and the game day
[00:00:23.750]experience was watching on TV.
[00:00:26.333]We mastered sanitizing spaces
[00:00:28.333]before ever filling them with friends,
[00:00:30.541]and we made lifelong friendships
[00:00:32.166]and created memories by staying six feet apart.
[00:00:34.916]Our class was challenged
[00:00:36.250]to adapt in unprecedented ways,
[00:00:38.541]which makes our group and graduation
[00:00:40.416]that much more special.
[00:00:42.083]We found unity in isolation,
[00:00:44.333]built community in chaos,
[00:00:45.958]and above all else, we learned
[00:00:47.708]what it really means to be a Husker.
[00:00:50.125]Being a Husker is being a part
[00:00:51.416]of something bigger than ourselves.
[00:00:52.958]It's stretching our strengths
[00:00:54.166]and doing big things even when
[00:00:55.541]the odds are stacked against us.
[00:00:57.416]It's exceeding
[00:00:58.083]expectations,
[00:00:59.000]but most importantly, it's knowing
[00:01:00.291]that the Husker family is forever.
[00:01:02.375]Though these years have
[00:01:03.166]challenged us in unimaginable ways,
[00:01:04.958]we have learned together.
[00:01:06.083]We've grown together.
[00:01:06.958]And now we enter this chapter
[00:01:08.458]as Husker alumni together.
[00:01:10.500]Celebrate, cherish, and reflect
[00:01:12.083]on all the things we've overcome.
[00:01:13.708]It's our time to enjoy this moment
[00:01:15.750]and we deserve it.
[00:01:17.125]Congratulations, class of 2024.
[00:01:19.333]We did it!
[00:01:20.125]We did it!
[00:01:21.083]We did it together.
[00:01:22.332]Together!
