KEARNEY – Undergraduate and graduate degrees for 365 will be conferred at commencement exercises 10 a.m. Friday at University of Nebraska at Kearney.

ESPN and Fox Sports broadcaster and UNK alumna Brenda VanLengen is the featured speaker. A three-sport standout athlete at Roseland High School, VanLengen played basketball for the Lopers from 1984-87 and was a two-time Academic All-American. She earned a bachelor’s degree in business education with an athletic training endorsement in 1987, then became a basketball coach at Kearney High School.

She went on to study at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she coached as a graduate assistant. Her career in sports broadcasting began in 1995 when she called Husker games for NET Television, and she was later hired by Fox Sports as an analyst for Big 12, ACC and SEC games, eventually becoming Fox’s top analyst for Big 12 games. In 2001 she began calling tournament games for ESPN’s first-round coverage of the NCAA Tournament and Division II National Championship broadcasts. Her work has grown to include play-by-play for NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship Final Four coverage, WNBA Finals, ESPNU and World University Games. She lives in Olathe, Kansas, and is an advocate for physical education in schools. In 2008, she received UNK’s Distinguished Alumna Award.

Lindsey L. Smith of Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, is student speaker. She will graduate Friday summa cum laude with a bachelor in sports management. A standout volleyball player at UNK, she has been active in Phi Kappa Phi honor society, Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and Chancellor’s Leadership Class. A three-time MIAA Academic Honor Roll member, she also received the MIAA Excellence Award.

The Choraleers, directed by David Bauer, UNK professor of Music, Theater and Dance, will perform a pre-commencement concert and processional, “Canzon Duodecimi Toni,” by Giovanni Gabrieli. The national anthem will be performed by Alyssa Olsen.

UNK commencement ceremonies are webcast at www.unk.edu. Find out more details at http://www.unk.edu/about/commencement/index.php
