-: Welcome to the College of Business
in the new Howard L. Hawks Hall
and congratulations on being selected
for the DreamBig Academy at the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
At the College of Business,
our motto is Start Something.
Start thinking about your future,
start meeting new people, start trying new things.
Don't wait to start experiencing Nebraska
and all it has to offer.
(upbeat music)
By applying for DreamBig, you've shown you're ready
to start something of your own.
You should be very proud of being selected
and I want you to know that you belong here
at Nebraska for both DreamBig and for college.
(upbeat music)
During your DreamBig experience,
you'll learn about the dynamic world of business.
You'll meet our world renowned faculty and graduates
and hear from community business leaders
who want to meet you and share their passion for business.
You will also meet College of Business staff
and current students who want to answer your questions
about college, business, or anything.
They are here to help you.
-: DreamBig. -: DreamBig.
Kathy: At the end of your DreamBig experience,
we want you to be confident about your knowledge
of business and your own skills and career goals,
so make the most of your time here.
Learn from those around you
and also be sure to have some fun.
Crowd: DreamBig.
-: I wanted to highlight a few of the distinctive programs
you can start if you come to the
Nebraska College of Business.
We have two business learning communities
where freshman with similar academic interests
live in the same residence hall.
They enroll in some of the same classes
and work with a faculty sponsor
and an upper-class student mentor.
They also get to attend special events.
All business freshman also take the course BSAD 111
and learn about their own individual strengths
through our Clifton Strengths Institute.
They learn how to apply those strengths
throughout their major and their life
and are matched with an upper-class strengths coach.
Our new teaching and learning center
also provides assistance for students,
but I'm going to let Fran, a student
at the College of Business, tell you more about that.
-: There's so many different ways
to get academic help here on campus at Nebraska.
For example, we have the teaching
and learning center here at the College of Business.
If you need help with classes outside of
the College of Business, there are lots of great options
around campus, for example, the Math Resource Center,
The English Writing Lab.
Don't wait, reach out for academic help when needed.
-: Thanks, Fran.
There are many more exciting programs at Nebraska
you may also be interested in,
but I know that the DreamBig Academy staff
have a very busy schedule planned for all of you.
Remember, make the most of this experience and have fun.
Now it's time for you to start something.
