Nebraska’s Dick and Peg Herman
Family Student Life Complex (left page)
opened after receiving an $8.7 million
expansion and renovation in 2010. The
complex tripled the size of NU’s previous
academic support area for studentathletes. The Nebraska Life Skills
program helps Husker student-athletes
experience the benefits of service to
others while learning to expand their
own leadership skills.
In 2013, gymnast Desire Stephens (left)

Athletics Shawn Eichorst presented the
award. Nebraska gymnasts are active in
the community. Jennifer Lauer (below)
was among many Huskers to participate
in Maxey Elementary Fun Night the past
two years.
