Alumni Masters Week, a program sponsored by the Nebraska Alumni Association, Scarlet Guard and the Chancellor's Office, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014. Since 1964, 400 alumni have participated in Alumni Masters Week. Its primary goal has always been to link the university's outstanding alumni with students who can benefit from their experiences and knowledge. All students were encouraged to take part in lectures, presentations and events with the alumni masters, who spoke about ways to apply formal education to working situations and career goals.
