Day in the Life of a College Student

Tuesday, February 18th, 2025

ETS Seniors that are interested in obtaining a four-year degree, come experience a day in the life of a college student with TRIO ETS.

Scholars will have the opportunity to:

  • attend college classes
  • eat lunch at the dining hall
  • spend time with a current UNL student
  • explore various campus resources that a four year university can provide.
This event will be different than a regular campus tour/experience, as students will be engaging in different college student activities. Scholars will have varying schedules based on interests of study.

Sign up here by February 12th: https://go.unl.edu/etsdil
