Haylie Winter of Alliance was among 208 University of Nebraska-Lincoln undergraduate students officially admitted to teacher education programs during the 2025-26 academic year who were recognized at the annual Teacher Education Convocation April 17 at Carolyn Pope Edwards Hall. Winter is in the secondary education (English) program.
Students were formally recognized during the ceremony and presented with a commemorative pin symbolizing their commitment to the teaching profession.
Marjorie Kostelnik, who served as the college’s dean for 14 years, provided the keynote address.
“Teaching is not merely a job, not merely a profession; it’s a calling,” she said. “When I look out and I see you, I see hope for the future.”
Now in its third year, the Teacher Education Convocation was created to elevate the importance of education and the teaching profession.
