Drum major Tanner Maas went from a band initiate to leading the Cornhusker Marching Band with pride. Now he’s focused on helping others shine, honoring tradition and making each game day unforgettable for his team and Husker fans. 🔗: go.unl.edu/j2qz

Mark Button is a proven leader who is helping us effectively navigate our current challenges, while ensuring we maintain institutional momentum. His record as an administrator at UNL, most recently as interim executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer, and previously as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, is evidence that he will continue to serve UNL well in this permanent role. I am grateful to Dr. Button for answering this call to leadership.
Mark Button has been named executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer for #Nebraska U, a position he has held on an interim basis since January. go.unl.edu/zguy #UNL

Since arriving at Nebraska, the Haring sisters have taken advantage of all the university has to offer. They’ve built a home away from home alongside fellow Husker undergrads, finding support from the campus community along the way.
