Brenna Dirksen graduated in May 2025 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. She is a native of Le Mars, Iowa.
Why did you choose the University of Nebraska-Lincoln?
I chose the University of Nebraska-Lincoln because growing up I was a Husker fan and always dreamed of getting my degree here! I am a third-generation Husker so that also played a part in where I decided to go to college!
What activities and organizations are you involved in on campus?
I was involved with Greek Life while in college and was in Tri Delta. I also was a wrestling manager throughout my four years! I valued all the memories and great experiences I had with both these organizations.
What has been your favorite class and why?
My favorite classes were all of my practicum experiences because I was able to be hands-on in the classroom applying what I was learning from my college classes.
What are your career goals?
I will be teaching kindergarten at Campbell Elementary in the fall. I hope to inspire my students and to leave a lifelong impact on them!
Anything else?
There truly is no place like Nebraska and our red burns a little brighter❤️
