Forty Husker undergraduates have been selected for the First Year Research Experience Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
Each fall, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships — in collaboration with TRIO Student Support Services and STEM-POWER — matches eligible first-year students with faculty mentors to engage in manageable research or creative projects during the academic year. With support from federal work-study awards, participants connect with faculty to learn how the university’s research innovations help solve global challenges.
FYRE students also participate in monthly skill-building workshops, complete a professional development course and present their research at the FYRE Mini-Symposium in late spring. Many students continue their research through programs such as the Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences Program, STEM-POWER and the Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program.
Charles Herron, a plant and landscape systems major, received a research placement as part of the 2024-25 FYRE cohort. Herron's project title is “Plant-Insect interactions.”
All 40 University of Nebraska–Lincoln students are listed alphabetically by hometown, with their academic major(s) and project title here.
