Forty-seven Husker undergraduates with majors in the College of Arts and Sciences will participate in research and/or creative activity with a faculty mentor this summer.
The Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience (UCARE) Program supports undergraduates to work with faculty mentors in research or creative activities. Students receive stipends of $2,640 for engaging 20 hours per week and will present posters at a campus research symposium Aug. 5 in the Nebraska Union with students from the Nebraska Summer Research Program.
