[00:00:02.790]Follow me.
[00:00:03.623]We're gonna go sign the last beam going into the building,
[00:00:05.359]one of the I-beams.
[00:00:06.412]It's gonna be at the top of the building.
[00:00:08.033]We're asking that you sign the top of it.
[00:00:09.895]It's primed and ready to go.
[00:00:12.284]So thank you for celebrating this major,
[00:00:14.310]major milestone with us in a project
[00:00:17.271]that is truly raising the college to new heights.
[00:00:21.549]You guys got markers, okay.
[00:00:22.966]Go for it.
[00:00:23.799]Yeah, we got the giant size.
[00:00:24.768]Yeah.
[00:00:25.617]The vision of the Dean and the Academic Leadership
[00:00:28.536]of the College of Business Administration led
[00:00:31.349]to the commitment of many like-minded donors,
[00:00:34.590]to completely fund this project
[00:00:36.496]with private dollars, thus showing the support
[00:00:39.375]of the partnership from the business community
[00:00:41.804]and the philanthropy community to take this college
[00:00:44.884]to the next level. (applause)
[00:00:49.387]I've always thought that buildings can place
[00:00:53.275]a restraint on how excellent a program can be,
[00:00:57.440]and so that's not about a building.
[00:00:59.062]It's about building a College of Business Administration
[00:01:02.185]that can excel, that can compete with its Big 10 colleagues,
[00:01:08.231]that can do extraordinary things
[00:01:09.893]for the business community of Nebraska,
[00:01:13.098]and in that sense will do extraordinary things
[00:01:15.898]for the universities.
[00:01:17.523]The future of
[00:01:18.514]the College of Business Administration
[00:01:20.647]at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is so bright.
[00:01:24.379]It glares off those beams if you look closely.
[00:01:27.828]This building will forever lift the sights
[00:01:31.154]and spirits of all who enter it.
[00:01:34.028]To the donors and former alums who made this happen,
[00:01:38.487]you have lifted up this college.
[00:01:41.122]You have lifted all of us, and we cannot wait
[00:01:44.811]to get out and start something.
