LINCOLN, Neb. (COLOGNE) – Several students from Lincoln Northeast High School are learning more about natural resources at the college level through a partnership with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
That program started two years ago. The program is available to Northeastern juniors and seniors planning to pursue a two- or four-year degree and is offered through the College of Agricultural Sciences.
In turn, they will receive college credit, but this year is the first time those students have been able to take classes on a college campus.
The idea is to give these kids a college feel and show them all of the career paths in STEM in Nebraska.
“We’re connecting them with our commodity groups,” said Tiffany Henn Moss of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “We connect them with industries that support agriculture and natural resources, so it’s an important right to connect with them early and help them understand that there’s a viable career path. I think there is.”
The students attend classes every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
As the program continues, more students are expected to join UNL classrooms and be enthusiastic about learning about agriculture.
