A Favorite Day at UNO
When asked what his favorite day at UNO was, Price said this:
"I have two favorite days--the first day of the fall semester and the day of spring commencement. I just love the energy of that first day, everyone is full of hope and expectations. And as for spring commencement, my position allows me the unique opportunity to see each of our College of Arts and Sciences graduates walk across that platform to receive their degrees; they are so happy to finally achieve this important life milestone. They have not only achieved their own dreams, but for many of our first-generation students, they have achieved the dreams of their parents and grandparents as well.”
