The 12th Annual Nebraska Youth Beef Leadership Symposium for ALL highschool youth will be held on November 20-22, 2015, on East Campus at UNL. The registration deadline is October 2, so act quickly!
NYBLS is co-organized and conducted by faculty and students in the Departments of Animal Science and Nebraska Extension, with support from several sponsors/donors and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Additionally, Nebraska beef industry leaders participate in several activities of the symposium.
Both the freshman/sophomore session and the junior/senior sessions will run simultaneously. The freshmen/sophomore group will learn more about the beef industry and will be tasked with the project of creating a promotional video about the beef industry. The junior/senior group will do the traditional NYBLS project of working with a professional chef and UNL meat scientists to develop a new beef dish, as well as develop a marketing plan to accompany the dish.
In addition, six $500 UNL College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources will be awarded to juniors and senior participants.
