message from our president

“If you ever felt like student goverment just isn’t for you, you are not alone. My name is Kyanne Casperson. I’m a student at the College of Arts and Sciences here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. For a lot of students, ASUN feels complicated, hard to access, more about titles and resumes than about creating real change.

I have spent my entire academic career striving to support my fellow students and make a difference on this campus, but it still feels like there’s more that I could be doing. It’s got me asking, what’s next for us?

That’s why we’re creating NEXUS, a place where students can come together to share their ideas, to be heard, and to take action. You don’t need to have experience, you don’t need to have the right major, you don’t have to have it all figured out to make a difference.

I’m running for student body president and student regent here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My goal is to bring people together and see what we can build together. If you’re curious, if you care, or if you just want to help, join NEXUS.”
