Eight students in the College of Education and Human Sciences were among the 114 Husker undergraduates awarded stipends to participate in research with a faculty mentor this summer.
Nebraska’s Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences (UCARE) program provides students with stipends of $2,640 to engage in intensive research or creative activity for 20 hours per week. Students from the Nebraska Summer Research Program and UCARE will present posters at a campus research symposium Aug. 6.
