This morning, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ROTC cadets and midshipmen and Lincoln-area first responders participated in a memorial stair climb running 2,000-plus stairs, the same total first responders faced 23 years ago on September 11, 2001.

I am pleased that yet another Presidential Scholar, Shrey Agarwal, plans to attend @UNLincoln. The state of Nebraska wins when scholars from within the state choose to stay home. I look forward to welcoming all our new Presidential Scholars this fall. go.unl.edu/s7gm

Many say the Husker community is one of the best things about attending Nebraska. But some arrived on campus with a built-in best friend. Jack Kinney and twin sister Hannah-Kate have celebrated many Husker moments together — from spending their summer as NSE leaders to crossing the stage last weekend. As they enter their next chapter as Husker alumni (and incoming @unlcollegeoflaw students), Jack shared this message 🥹 “My twin sister may be three minutes younger, but she’s actually my role model. If you go to UNL, there’s a good chance you might know her. She does everything — and yet somehow, she does everything well. So being perpetually addressed as, “Hey, Hannah-Kate’s brother, right?” is no slighting in the least. Attending Lincoln together, being Knoll Residence Hall next-door neighbors, working NSE side-by-side, and next year, beginning work toward our law degrees together at UNL ... I owe a huge measure of any success I’ve found to my favorite fellow Husker. Thank you, Hannah-Kate, because there’s no way that I could say it enough.”
