What does graduating from Nebraska mean to you?
It means the world to me to have achieved this, and graduating from Nebraska allows me to be proud of my public school education.
The research process, from Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval to paper writing, prepared me for my future. It has greatly prepared me for my Fulbright research, and the course load at UNL has prepared me to handle the workload of medical school [in the future].
Transformational moments
I took an amazing psychology of controversy class with Dr. Jeffrey Steven’s—the class discussions were so honest and so open. I really learned to be confident sharing my opinion, and I appreciated how cohesive the class was.
