Lincoln Northeast High School recently hosted a college fair in partnership with the University of Nebraska Lincoln, with a focus on the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Students had the opportunity to learn about programs in animal and food science, engineering, forensic science, and pre-veterinary studies offered at UNL.
The college fair took place during the evening of the students’ parent-teacher conferences at the school. This was a strategic decision by the coordinators, Tammera Mittelstet from the ag science college and Northeast Principal Keri Applebee, to make it more convenient for students and their families. By hosting the fair during conferences, they hoped to attract a larger community of stakeholders who were already present at the school.
Both UNL and Northeast High School are planning to continue their partnership in the future, with the goal of providing even more students with the opportunity to explore various career paths and visualize their future goals. This initiative aims to help students make connections and gain insights into potential future endeavors in the fields of agriculture, science, engineering, and more.
