“We are grateful to all whose generosity supports the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, including the incredible response to this year’s Glow Big Red event. This support helps us to educate, conduct life-changing research and serve Nebraskans.” – Chancellor Rodney D. Bennett
“The Student Alumni Association (SAA) helps students connect with each other and alumni in the community through social events, professional development and networking. Funds from Glow Big Red help fund these opportunities. Networking used to be daunting and sort of scary, but I’ve been able to form connections with people who I wouldn’t know otherwise.” – Anna Schroeder, SAA president
“Glow Big Red donations go to the Daily Nebraskan Editorial Support Fund, which is an endowment fund that helps pay for the salaries of students who work at the student newspaper. That means that the DN’s student journalists are able to hone their skills to do more reporting, more photojournalism and reach more students with social media than the previous year. The dollars directly impact the DN’s mission to keep the campus community informed while also training the professionals of the future.” – Allen Vaughan, general manager, The Daily Nebraskan
“Glow Big Red is a wonderful opportunity to secure the funding we need to provide scholarships to students and extend their learning beyond the classroom through experiential learning opportunities. This event also helps us to move the needle on our programming related to teaching, research and extension.” – Tiffany Heng-Moss, dean, College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
“The Campus Recreation Student Support Fund was created to provide financial assistance to Campus Rec student employees that exemplify the mission and values of Campus Recreation. Because of your generous support during Glow Big Red, we have been able to go from awarding one $250 scholarship to six $500 scholarships. Thank you!” – Mark Joekel, associate director, Campus Recreation, University of Nebraska–Lincoln
“Gifts to Glow Big Red support Nebraska Human Resources Institute Leadership Mentoring, which currently reaches 160+ middle and high school leaders in schools across Lincoln. These leaders receive leadership-focused mentoring from UNL college student mentors who empower their mentees to make a positive difference in their schools and communities.” – Nick Knopik, doctoral research assistant, NHRI
