The alumni association was proud to offer our alumni and friends in Arizona an inside look at the latest happenings at the University of Nebraska. A sellout crowd of 600 spent "A Night with Nebraska" Feb. 4, 2010, at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale.

Alumni, fans and friends heard firsthand from UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Athletic Director Tom Osborne about the latest academic and athletic news, as well as future plans for the University. Former Husker Tommie Frazier spoke about his recent USO trip to Iraq, while emcee Matt Davison kept things running smoothly and even provided a little comic relief. Those in attendance also enjoyed "Taste of Nebraska" foods provided by Valentino's and Runza.

A Night with Nebraska was the first event of its kind that the alumni association has offered. The response was so overwhelmingly positive that we're already working on plans for similar event (location TBD) next spring. Information will be posted to HuskerAlum.org as it becomes available.
