Celebrating Graduates and Legacy at UNL | Lincoln News

Six hundred and four graduates from forty-two countries and fifty-five Nebraska communities will walk across the stage at UNL’s big August 15 commencement, led by Interim Chancellor Katherine S. Ankerson and keynote speaker Susan Sheridan — a grant-funding legend with over $75 million secured and more than 230 publications to her name. The ceremony also honors Louise Pound posthumously with a Doctor of Education, celebrating her trailblazing legacy as a scholar, athlete, and advocate for women’s sports who defied norms to earn a doctorate from Heidelberg. Doors open at 7:30 AM for free public access — no tickets needed, unlimited guests per graduate — with a clear-bag policy to keep things smooth. The event runs about two and a half hours, and those unable to attend in person can stream it live online or on Spectrum 1303 and Kinetic 1080.
