What does graduating from Nebraska mean to you?
It means being prepared for the next step in life, and having a community of huskers behind you whether they are students or alumni!

Transformational moments
I worked in the Khalimonchuk Lab in the Beadle Center for 3.5/4 years of my undergraduate education. The lab members and Dr. Khalimonchuk helped me learn outside the classroom as well as fostering a love and respect for the scientific community. I wouldn’t have had all the success in my major and research projects without their unwavering support and mentorship!

Working for New Student Enrollment made me more confident as a student and built my interpersonal skills. It also allowed me to work alongside some of the best students on campus, and gave me a network of friends that have become my NSE Fam.

Campus involvement
Kappa Delta, New Student Enrollment, Pre-Dental Club.

After graduation
I will be continuing on to Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha after graduation! I am most looking forward to going to football games as an alumni! Might be a Jay-sker after graduation, but I’ll always cheer for our Huskers!

The best thing about being a Husker
The support and community at UNL! Top tier, best in the world.

Thank you message
Thank you to my family, my mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law and the rest of the Trotter clan! But special shout-out to my twin who will also be graduating in May, my brother Liam. I am so happy we got to share the husker experience, and I wouldn’t have made it through the tough days without you!
