What does graduating from Nebraska mean to you?
As an international student from India, having the opportunity to graduate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a bachelor's degree means the world to me. This has been a long four-year journey for my family and me, but it is an honor to graduate from a prestigious university. 

What are your plans after graduation?
Currently, I am applying for a full-time job at UNL, and I plan to go to graduate school to pursue a Master's in the student affairs program in Fall 2023.  

After graduation, I am most looking forward to not having to stay up late to do schoolwork. I also look forward to meeting more people, making connections, and helping more international students at UNL.  

What is your favorite part about being a Husker?
The best thing about being a Husker is all the connections I could make and all the opportunities that opened up for me. I also greatly appreciate all the support and community UNL has provided.  

"Thank you to my mom, dad, and brother for constant support throughout my journey. Thank you to my academic advisor and professors especially Dr. Gwyneth Talley in the Anthropology department who helped me reach this level. Thank you to all the friends who helped me succeed and always being there. I wouldn't have made it through the tough days without you! Thank you to the International Student and Scholar Office and New Student Enrollment office for giving me a chance to work with them and grow professionally."
