This week, prestigious alumni masters from each college came back to network with current UNL students. The masters participated in a Success Panel and dessert reception Wednesday night. The event was open to all current UNL students, and over 200 were in attendance. The masters shared their thoughts on civic engagement, leadership, networking, and finding your passion.
Thursday and Friday, Scarlet Guard students were invited to have lunch with the masters and network in a more intimate setting.
Thursday night, the 2014 masters joined 50 previous masters at the Alumni Masters Week Medallion Dinner. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Alumni Masters Week. Masters past and present joined together at Innovation Campus to celebrate their time at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
