The 2021 UNL Chemistry Day is an opportunity for high-performing high school students, their parents, and teachers to learn about the opportunities available to them as University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chemistry majors. The event is free and will be held online on April 17 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
This year's 90-minute event will be held remotely. The theme this year is "Reducing Our Footprint with Chemistry." It will feature an overview of our undergraduate program, a live-streamed chemistry demonstration, infographics competition winners, outstanding chemistry teacher nominees, and UNL Chemistry program scholarship winners among others.
The registration deadline for attendance is April 10, but you’ll need to register by March 31 to compete, nominate, or win.

**Infographic Competition**
We are looking for the best infographics about “Reducing our footprint with chemistry”! We’re asking you to submit your example by March 31. Over the course of April 10-16, Chemistry Day registrants will be encouraged to rate the effectiveness of the infographics on a scale of 1 to 10. The five top-scoring infographics will be showcased during Chemistry Day and winners will receive a gift bag that will be mailed after Chemistry Day.
**Nominate your High School Chemistry Teacher**
We need your help in recognizing outstanding high school chemistry teachers. When you register, you will nominate a teacher. Your nomination can be as short as one sentence but must be completed by March 31. During Chemistry Day, we’ll showcase a few teachers based on a random drawing. Any student whose teacher is showcased will win a gift bag that will be mailed after Chemistry Day. All nominated teachers will receive their anonymized student nominations, a small gift, and a list of ways they can continue to interact with UNL Chemistry
**Scholarship Competition**
High school seniors who will graduate in Spring 2021 are eligible to win a $1000 scholarship if you enroll at UNL as a chemistry major in Fall 2021. When you register, you will receive instructions on how to submit your official (or unofficial) transcript. The deadline to submit is March 31. Five students will be chosen to win scholarships and the winners will be announced during Chemistry Day.
