The ASEM Marketing Team is requesting your help in identifying talented students to feature in prospective student recruitment marketing materials.
Prospective students want to see that Nebraska is a place where they can have life-changing experiences that result in an outcome. An outcome can be a career after graduation, but it can also be milestones throughout school — finding a major, paying for school, or starting a business.
At Nebraska, we have the opportunity to share current students’ outcomes through stories to show prospective students that Nebraska is the place where faculty and staff are dedicated to helping students stretch their strengths and co-create their future.
You can see our current student stories at cocreate.unl.edu. We are looking to feature more current student stories that represent one or more of the following categories:
- Lincoln connection - Student has a clear connection to a local organization or business.
