Day in the Life of a College Student RECAP

This past President's Day, our scholars had the opportunity to visit UNL and experience a day in the life of a college student. 13 high school juniors and seniors attended college courses, ate at the dining hall, and learned more about TRIO Student Support Services. This experience broadened their horizons and inspired them to pursue higher education with confidence.
