THE STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIE Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining intercollegiate athletic programs in the country. In the 2014-15 fiscal year, Nebraska drew more than 1.3 million fans across all sports through the gates of its world-class facilities. This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes. LIFE SKILLS The Husker Life Skills program allows student-athletes to continue their development and impact lives in the community. In 2014-15, Husker student-athletes, such as Annika Albrecht, combined for more than 6,500 hours in the community, making an impact on thousands of Nebraskans across the state. 164 2015 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL DICK AND PEG HERMAN FAMILY STUDENT LIFE COMPLEX The Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex provides a comprehensive learning area for many of the Husker student-athletes.
