Letter from Scholarship Recipient
Mackenzie Culver

Dear Coloradans for Nebraska,

 
Thank you for all of the work you put forth to raise funds for the Coloradans for Nebraska academic scholarship; it is my third time as a CFN scholarship recipient, and being a Husker would not be possible if it weren't for your generosity and support! The first week of classes is coming to an end, and the first Husker football game is quickly approaching (finally)! As a senior, I'm beginning to appreciate the little perks of being a student of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln while I can. Such as, the beautiful campus, the chaos of city campus, the peacefulness of east campus, the bell tower melodies, the humidity, locust, inspiring professors, and the amazing addition to Memorial Stadium (to name a few)! These suttle reminders and your support will keep me grounded when stressing about graduate school applications and my future (ah take me back to freshman year!) Again, thank you so much for your generosity and support, it makes a huge difference in my future academic and career endeavors!
 
GO HUSKERS!
Mackenzie Culver
Fort Collins, CO
