Lincoln Northeast High School recently hosted a college fair in collaboration with the University of Nebraska Lincoln. The focus of the event was on the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, where students learned more about programs in animal and food science, engineering, forensic science, and pre-veterinary studies offered at UNL.

The college fair took place during the evening of the students’ parent-teacher conferences at the school. This strategic decision by coordinators Tammera Mittelstet from the ag science college and Northeast Principal Keri Applebee aimed to make it convenient for students and their families. By hosting the fair during conferences, they hoped to attract a larger community of stakeholders who were already present at the school.

Both UNL and Northeast High School are planning to continue their partnership in the future with the goal of providing even more students with opportunities to explore various career paths and visualize their future goals. This initiative aims to help students make connections and gain insights into potential future endeavors in agriculture, science, engineering, and more.
