Engagement lies at the heart of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s land-grant mission. And, through the N2025 strategic plan the university is focusing that engagement, building on successes and strengthening outreach to Nebraska, the world and alumni.

Those successes include the Early College and Career STEM program offered by the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The program is focused on teaching about food, energy, water and societal systems to some 900 Lincoln Northeast High School students. Click the video below to learn more.
