Last month, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Office of Graduate Studies, Office of Undergraduate Research, and the Office of Research and Economic Development held virtual Student Research Days, during which two UNL School of Natural Resources students, Kaitlyn Dozler and Kristina Amato, were honored. Over 200 graduate and undergraduate students participated in the week-long celebration of student research and creative work.

Faculty, postdoc and graduate student judges met with students during Zoom Q-and-As and evaluated their presentations. Graduate students were awarded with $400 travel grants to help with conference travel costs. Undergraduates were awarded prizes valued at $250 sponsored by their academic colleges.
