With the last 16 months redefining the phrase Husker Power, more than 3,500 University of Nebraska–Lincoln students prepare to graduate during the first in-person commencement since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the College of Business doctoral and master’s ceremony is planned at Pinnacle Bank Arena, May 7 at 4 p.m., the business undergraduates celebrate for the first time at Memorial Stadium on Tom Osborne Field, May 8 at 10 a.m., weather permitting.
The opportunity to celebrate in person at such a memorable spot thrilled senior Edgar Montoya of Ralston, Nebraska. Majoring in both marketing and management, Montoya earned two of the more than 600 business degrees conferred this weekend.
“I am eager and excited to be graduating in person at Memorial Stadium. I’m grateful that this could take place where family and friends can see me cross that stage and receive the diploma I worked so hard to obtain,” Montoya said.
Tom Osborne himself also returns to the field bearing his name as the keynote speaker. The former Nebraska head football coach, athletic director and congressional representative titled his undergraduate address, “Begin with the End in Mind.”
At the morning undergraduate ceremony, Dr. Connie Clifton Rath, ’70 & ’71, president of the Clifton Foundation, receives an honorary Doctor of Commerce. With Nebraska degrees in elementary education and educational psychology, Rath also earned her doctorate in education at the University of Southern California. Dedicated to research and education to further finding and building the strengths of young people, the Clifton Foundation and Rath, along with others, helped make the Clifton Strengths Institute at Nebraska possible. Located in Howard L. Hawks Hall, the institute helps identify and develop future leaders, business builders and gifted entrepreneurs, and Rath often visits to coach and guide students.
“Connie Rath has been an incredible teacher, mentor and guide. She has a discerning eye for talent and has multiplied her impact through investing in others throughout her career,” said Dr. Tim Hodges, executive director of the CSI and assistant professor of management.
While the pandemic continues, the graduates persisted in finishing the last semester. Montoya took the challenges in stride and now caps it off ready to receive his degrees and tackle the future of business.
“College has been a rollercoaster of emotions with highs and lows but as I reflect on my time at Nebraska, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve grown so much and made the absolute most of my college experience. It is a bittersweet feeling filled with excitement and uncertainty of what’s to come next, but I’m eager for my next chapter,” said Montoya, who plans to continue working as a DJ in Lincoln, as he looks for a full-time career in marketing or retail management.
The ceremonies, which include the College of Law’s ceremony, May 7 at 10 a.m. and a second undergraduate ceremony, May 8 at 3 p.m. for non-business students, will be streamed here and broadcast live on Spectrum channel 1303, Allo channel 23 and Kinetic channel 1080.
