Honors Academy Celebration Highlights Graduation Activities

Honors Academy Celebration Highlights Graduation Activities
Honors Academy students pose following Graduation Celebration
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln granted more than 525 undergraduate and graduate business degrees during commencement exercises May 5-6. The college celebrated the graduation of the inaugural cohort of the College of Business Honors Academy with a special graduation event on May 5. The event concluded several prominent graduation activities for the College of Business including the MBA Graduation Luncheon, the School of Accountancy Graduation Celebration and the Senior Sendoff and Graduate Goodbye, which took place at the Railyard in Lincoln’s Haymarket District.

Dr. Kathy Farrell, interim dean, spoke to the 33 graduating Honors Academy students and their families at the Wick Alumni Center. She expressed her amazement at both their accomplishments and the people who rapidly built the program.

“The Honors Academy was born due to an idea by our previous dean, Donde Plowman,” said Farrell. “She knew we needed to attract students who were not just strong academically, but also exhibited strong leadership skills. Donde hired Dr. Donna Dudney as the first Director of the Honors Academy in April 2012, and in less than a year, the program went from an idea to accepting the first cohort.”

Erin Burnette, who became director of the Honors Academy in 2012, presented graduating students their Honors Academy medallions. She also spoke to them about the expanding community they created.

“The unique skills and experiences each of you provided created the backbone of the Honors Academy,” said Burnette. “We loved watching you challenge and support each other through the ups and downs of college life, both in and outside the classroom. Through this camaraderie and desire to succeed, you accomplished incredible things.”

The accomplishments of the cohort include traveling abroad 26 times to 13 countries, competing in competitions across the U.S. and participating in internships at nearly 75 companies. They also took on a multitude of leadership roles in student government, senior honor societies, student organizations, athletics, fraternities and sororities, and other groups across campus.

Dudney, who now serves as associate dean for undergraduate programs and student engagement, delivered the concluding remarks. She praised the cohort for taking a risk.

Theresa Ferguson of Lincoln celebrated her graduation with family at the Senior Sendoff.

“You were the ones who took a chance and joined something new,” said Dudney. “I’ve been teaching at the College of Business for almost 20 years. I’ve always found teaching rewarding, but being part of the Honors Academy has been the most rewarding opportunity of my professional life. I can’t wait to say, ‘I knew you when,’ because I know all of you are going to Start Something big.”

Over 400 people, including graduates, family members, friends, faculty and staff attended the Senior Sendoff and Graduate Goodbye. Nelnet sponsored the event.
