Getting Started

Husker Student POWER

At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, your student's success is driven by the POWER framework. POWER is more than a football cheer. The POWER elements underlie and unify the Husker Student Experience.

Purpose | Ownership | Well-being | Engagement | Relationships

Regardless of your student's major, identities, background, or career goals, embracing the POWER elements is the key to their success at UNL and beyond! Throughout your student's UNL career, intentionally reflecting and acting on the POWER questions will help them to make the most of their Husker Student Experience. Each letter of POWER represents a curated set of opportunities, experiences, and resources. Above, hover over the word for each letter to find out more.

Throughout each module, we've included real-life experiences by highlighting orientation leader testimonials called "Student POV (Point of View)". We hope you will see your student in their successes. You are an essential component within your student's support system, and we encourage you to spend time discussing with your student how they can invest in the elements of POWER during their first year at UNL.
