The
Innocents Society is the Chancellor's Senior Honorary at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln. Founded on April 24, 1903, and uniquely Nebraskan,
the Society has been leading this campus in all aspects and promoting
school spirit for more than 100 years. |
" We, the thirteen members of the 102nd class of the Innocents Society will work as one to promote school spirit, uphold UNL traditions, foster personal growth, and serve others with our time and energy. Bringing together our unique strengths, we will learn from each other to make the most of this distinguished opportunity. " (This mission statement was developed by the current class of Innocents during their initiation week.) |
