Lincoln, Neb.--Registration for the ninth annual Future Husker University on July 10 is now open.
Future Husker University, hosted by the Nebraska Alumni Association, is an immersive and interactive Husker experience on campus for any future Husker, ages 7-13, and their families. The Nebraska Alumni Association has welcomed Nebraska alumni and fans through this experience since 2018.
Participants will take part in classroom activities led by the university’s departments, eat in a student dining hall, tour campus landmarks, and more. At the end of experience, the participants will conclude with a graduation ceremony. They will also have the opportunity of staying in a residence hall overnight for an authentic student experience.

The Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts is offering the following three class at Future Husker University this year:
• History of Rock taught by Professor of Trombone Scott Anderson. A brief overview of the History of Rock music in its classic era from 1962-1972. This session is most appropriate for children ages 11-13.
• Ensemble Energy: Music and Movement taught by Ron and Carol Cope Professor of Music and Director of Bands Carolyn Barber. A hands-on opportunity to explore how musicians work together in ensembles. No musical skill or experience necessary.
• Create Mobile Art taught by Professor of Art Santiago Cal. Most of us know mobiles as the little sculptures that hang above a baby’s crib. But some famous American artists have specialized in making gorgeous mobiles that dazzle. In this class at the Sheldon Museum of Art, you’ll learn about American sculptor Alexander Calder and learn to make a mobile in his style.
