The NAA is excited to welcome 31 alumni to Cather Circle, our networking and professional development group for women. The new members represent 11 states and Washington D.C., and a variety of backgrounds and professions, including advertising, agriculture, business, teaching, entertainment, entrepreneurs and more. Members are selected for their accomplishments in their careers and civic activities and for their interest in mentoring current students. 
If you’ve thought about traveling to Ann Arbor with the NAA, now is the time. After the 2013 season, the Nebraska football team will not make another trip to Michigan until at least 2018! Our trip is open to all Husker fans and features round-trip, charter air transportation departing from Lincoln. 
A limited number of spots are available on our bus trip to Minnesota (Oct. 24-27). This trip includes three nights at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center hotel, ranked in the top 25 U.S. hotels of 2010 by Trip Advisor. 
We are excited to offer our first basketball travel package! Join us in South Carolina (Nov. 21-25) to support Coach Tim Miles and the Huskers at the Charleston Classic. This trip does not include airfare. Get yourself to Charleston, and we’ll take care of the rest! 
The Yell Squad Alumni have become the NAA’s latest official affiliate group! Their leader, Jeff Castle, is a 1983 graduate and a life member of the Nebraska Alumni Association. The group will serve all Yell Squad alumni, and will kick things off November 1-2 with a reunion celebrating their 110th anniversary. 
The NAA’s student group, Scarlet Guard, served ice cream to about 3,400 students and parents who attended this year’s Scarlet Scoop in conjunction with New Student Enrollment. During the 24-day event, SG welcomed 560 new members to Scarlet Guard and went through 135 gallons of UNL Dairy Store ice cream. Scarlet Guard is the largest, fastest-growing student organization on campus, and membership is open to all students. The group hosts more than 25 networking, mentoring and social events throughout the school year. Do you know a student who might be interested in membership? 
UNL’s Brian O’Grady, an interlibrary loan borrowing specialist with the University Libraries, is recording conversations with veterans to document war experiences. O’Grady has recorded the war stories of 20 Nebraska veterans, focusing on World War II vets, documenting the stories before members of the Greatest Generation are gone. He also has talked to veterans from the Korean and Vietnam conflicts and plans to include more recent conflicts in the Middle East. He provides copies of the interviews to families. O’Grady also plans to publish the stories and possibly donate the recordings to a historical archive. “The main reason I do this … is to capture a story that otherwise would have been lost,” he said. “This project is all about preserving an oral history for future generations.” 
In the 90th anniversary season of Memorial Stadium, a legendary name that graced the field for all of one season will return in perpetuity. Nebraska is finishing the installment of new FieldTurf, with “Tom Osborne Field” stitched in red on the white edges of the east and west sidelines. The name has been absent on the storied field for 14 seasons, even though it has remained the field’s official name since the University of Nebraska Board of Regents’ approval in 1998. Husker N-Sider Randy York explains why the name was removed, and why 2013 is the right time to bring it back. 
Lost in the shuffle of the newly expanded East Memorial Stadium for football and the newly built Pinnacle Bank Arena for basketball is the remodeled Devaney Center. The transformed Devaney Center will be a world-class venue for men’s and women’s gymnastics, wrestling and volleyball, writes Husker N-Sider Randy York. The remodeled Devaney Center is about 80 percent complete and is “on track” for its full public unveiling Aug. 24 in the Husker volleyball team’s annual preseason scrimmage. Catch a glimpse of the Devaney Center’s new look on huskers.com. 
The Huskers will take on UMass in the opening game of the Charleston Classic on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 11:30 a.m. (CT) on ESPN3. The eight-team, 12-game tournament runs Nov. 21-24 in South Carolina. Other participating teams include Clemson, Davidson, Georgia, Temple, UAB and New Mexico. Nebraska, under second-year Coach Tim Miles, returns 10 letterwinners and three starters from a team that went 15-18 in his first season, including guard Ray Gallegos and forwards David Rivers and Shavon Shields. The alumni association’s trip to the Charleston Classic is open to all Husker alumni and fans, and includes all-session game tickets. |
