Cayden was selected by his peers to be a part of the Nebraska Human Resourses Institute. Now you may ask "what is that?" Don't worry I wondered the same exact thing!

Nebraska Human Resources Institute (NHRI) is a leadership development program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where outstanding college leaders are paired with outstanding young leaders in Lincoln Public Schools. NHRI's objective is to discover individuals with exceptional capacity to positively influence others and develop their leadership capacity through one-to-one investment relationships. The outcome hoped for is that these leaders direct their developed leadership toward reinvestment in others.
Matt was in this program when he was in school, he was paired with Mark Gocke who we still have a relationship with. Matt was in Mark's wedding and Mark was in our wedding.
Mark summarized the program the best for us.
"By taking a student who shows leadership abilities and enhancing those abilities, he or she will in turn, show others how to become great leaders, as others will then follow his lead."
We met Cayden's mentor last night and we couldn't have been more thrilled. His name is Platte, he's from Omaha, and is studying pre-med. Cayden is super excited about this and can't wait for their first meeting.
