Fall 2021 Brings a Successful 11th Round of Strive to Thrive Lincoln

The Fall 2021 semester of Strive to Thrive Lincoln saw many aspects of the course return to in-person formats, including service projects, site visits and the grant ceremony.

The members of this class crafted the following mission statement to guide the grant process:

Strive to Thrive Lincoln provides Nebraska Business students with the opportunity to grant funds to organizations that uplift under-reached youth and their families living below the poverty line through sustainable educational programs and community-building resources, in order to equip them with skill sets for long-term success and holistic well-being.
