Celebrating the Moments We Shared
As the semester comes to a close, we want to extend our warmest congratulations to all graduating Huskers preparing to cross the stage during Commencement ceremonies this Friday and Saturday. Your hard work, resilience and growth brought you to this moment, and we are excited for what comes next in your journey.
To all students returning in the fall, thank you for being part of the SCC community this year. We hope your summer brings rest, joy and time to recharge after a busy semester.
Before we say goodbye until the Fall Semester, we invite you to look back with us at some of the memorable moments, conversations and connections we shared throughout April. From JGMC Week to De-Stress Fest, thank you for showing up, creating community and making these spaces meaningful.

Spotlight Recap: Stop, Serve and Mingle
Stop, Serve and Mingle turned an afternoon into a space for creativity, connection and community care.
Students came together to create glowing lanterns, design tote bags, sew felt animals, decorate birdhouses and write uplifting notes for others across campus and the Lincoln community. Many of the items created during the event were shared beyond the room, helping turn simple activities into meaningful acts of kindness.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a welcoming and meaningful atmosphere.

Spotlight Recap: Late Night Dish It Up
This April, Late Night Dish It Up brought students together for conversations that challenged perspectives, sparked reflection and created meaningful connections.
From exploring unconscious bias with Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, to learning about immigration stories through a lively American Story Jeopardy with Define American, to engaging in powerful conversations on Black identity with Afrikan People’s Union, each event created space for students to listen, speak and learn from one another.
Thank you to all of our partner RSOs and everyone who showed up, shared their voice and helped make these conversations thoughtful, engaging and real.
