Shawn Eichorst came to the University of Nebraska in 2012 with an
incredible passion for the University and for its student-athletes. As
the leader of a tradition-rich program with 24 intercollegiate teams,
600-plus student-athletes and more than 300 full-time employees,
Eichorst has relied on a strong value system and a student-centered
approach to lead the Department. Nebraska’s primary mission is to
provide student-athletes with the resources and support they need
to be successful in academics, athletics and life. The health, safety
and welfare of student-athletes is Nebraska’s top priority and at the
essence of every decision made.
Nebraska has a history of providing first-class coaches, staff and
facilities for its students. Additionally, since Eichorst arrived in
Lincoln, resources and services in every student-athlete support
unit have been improved and enhanced, including academics,
athletic medicine, life skills, nutrition, sports psychology, strength
and conditioning and in the Nebraska Athletics Performance
Laboratory (NAPL).
Eichorst has continued to aggressively move Nebraska forward with
several new initiatives to enhance the student-athlete experience.
The Department will provide state-of-the-art laptop computers
to all student-athletes beginning in the summer of 2015 and the
University will now provide four-year, full cost of attendance-based
scholarships for all scholarship student-athletes in every sport. Also
beginning in the summer of 2015, every Husker letterwinner who
graduates and has exhausted his or her eligibility will be provided
assistance to either obtain an intern ͡
