The Husker alumna delivered the keynote address during the undergraduate commencement ceremony Dec. 17 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Fischer, the senior senator from Nebraska, told graduates to consider their dreams and passions and chart a course toward them. She noted that there is no perfect answer and that passions might change over time, but what matters is that the graduates never stop challenging themselves to find purpose and fulfillment.

“Each of us has a calling,” she said. “And sitting here today, you may not know what your calling is right now. But I promise you — if you have the courage to listen, one day you will hear it. And you will feel it in your core.”
