Achieving the vision of N2025, as a student at UNL you will have multiple opportunities to engage in documented experiential learning throughout your undergraduate career. Experiential learning is all about encountering new situations, reflecting on your observations, and actively applying them to the world around you. Whatever your interests — research, education abroad, community engagement, internships, and more — the world beyond the classroom is here to explore.
