Chloe Mann of Alliance is among 114 Husker undergraduates who have been awarded stipends by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to participate in research with a faculty mentor this summer.
Mann, a junior civil engineering major, will participate in the project “First-Generation Engineering Students: Passion vs. Stability” as part of Nebraska’s Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences Program, which supports undergraduates to work with faculty mentors in research or creative activities. Students receive stipends of $2,640 to engage in intensive research or creative activity for 20 hours per week. The students’ projects span academic disciplines including engineering, chemistry, modern languages and literatures, psychology, art and art history, architecture, special education, and fisheries and wildlife.
Students from the Nebraska Summer Research Program and UCARE will present posters on their research and creative activities at a campus research symposium Aug. 6. For more information on undergraduate research at Nebraska, visit https://ucare.unl.edu.
