Meet a Husker: Mackenzie Leblanc
Mackenzie Leblanc is an advertising and public relations major and current New Student Enrollment leader from Lincoln, Nebraska.
Why did you apply to be a NSE leader?
I had such an authentic NSE experience with my orientation leader, Bridget Lang, I wanted to be able to offer the same opportunity for students to fall in love with Nebraska in the way that she did for me!
Best advice to a new college student:
Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. This is a time made for self-exploration, so don’t let comparison or doubts hold you back from trying new things and meeting new people!
Name a person who has helped you be successful at Nebraska.
My ADPR professor, Nancy Mitchell, was a huge factor in helping me network throughout the CoJMC! She provided encouragement and a support system for me within the college which helped make Nebraska feel like home.
How have you connected to campus during your time here?
One of the best thing I did to connect with others on campus was to go through sorority recruitment, try out for my a cappella group, and form relationships with my professors early on! Through this, I was able to start school with a support system from the very beginning.
What does being a Husker mean to you?
Being a Husker means joining a community of individuals who root for you, support you, and push you to become the best professional and personal individual that you could possibly be!
Fill in the blank: “The best thing about Nebraska is ____.”
The opportunities that it provides for its students to connect with one another!
“The Westbrook Music Building has been the place in college where I found my home although I am not a music major. Walking through the front doors of this building after just my first few weeks on campus to audition for a co-ed A Cappella group, Pitch Please, was my first step of making the University my home. After joining the group I have enjoyed many late nights laughing and rehearsing here, memories that I will hold overwhelmingly close when looking back at my collegiate journey.”
