The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has awarded stipends to 87 Husker undergraduates with majors in the College of Arts and Sciences to participate in research with a faculty mentor during the fall and spring semesters. Nebraska’s Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences Program supports undergraduates to work with faculty mentors in research or creative activities.
UCARE participants will present posters on their research and creative activities during Student Research Days, April 6, at the Nebraska Union.
