She Dared to Dream was more than an event. It was an evening shaped by inspiration, leadership, transformation and empathy.
Through the screening and panel conversation, participants reflected on the journey of Ayanna Pressley and engaged with powerful perspectives from campus and community leaders. The room carried a wide range of emotions, from deep reflection to renewed motivation, as stories of resilience, advocacy and representation unfolded.
We extend our sincere thanks to all panelists for sharing their insight and inspiring our campus community through their leadership and lived experiences.
A special moment of the evening was the presentation of the Dream in Action Award, recognizing the next generation of student leaders shaping the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We proudly congratulate Dania Javaid, Linda Ngo, Pheben Yosief, Riada Riyangow, Rubi Hernandez-Ochoa and Venn Jemkur for their contributions and commitment to building community and leading with purpose.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create a space where stories were shared, voices were heard and impact was felt.
