Students in need of help should visit ASC for information
Going into the summer, many students are looking for internships or research projects to do over the summer.
Executive Director of Academic Support Services Beth Jacobson explains that the Nebraska Summer Research Program is an intensive summer research experience at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln that provides mentoring and research experiences to college students and gives them a glimpse of graduate school life.
“This research program is open to students with a strong interest in graduate programs from populations traditionally underrepresented in graduate education in the following fields: applied plant systems, applied unmanned systems, beneficial insects, bioenergy systems, biomedical engineering, chemistry, crop-to-food innovation, digital legal research lab, engineering education research, health equity, nanotechnology coordinated infrastructure, quantum materials, redox biology, sustainability of civil infrastructure and virology,” Jacobson said. From June 3 to Aug. 7, the University will be providing the program, lodging, meals and any travel expenses in order for students to attend.
“This is a great opportunity for any student interested in the above areas,” Jacobsen said. “Students interested in graduate school and/ or research will benefit greatly from participating by gaining experience in the field of research as well as the process of scientific writing and data collection. Finally, not needing to worry about the costs of attendance and living expenses will allow students extra freedom to concentrate on the opportunity they are living in for the summer.”
Although the applications for this program were due on March 1, there is the possibility of an extension given to students. If you are interested in this research program, then you can either email Casey Coleman at ccoleman2@unl.edu or you can contact Beth Jacobson at beth.jacobson@doane.edu or visit her during her office hours in the Academic Success Center.
