Student support programs aid Casperson's academic success


In this video, Nebraska's Kyanne Casperson discusses her academic path and how student support services helped open doors to success.

Kyanne Casperson, a junior sociology major, is among many Huskers whose campus experience has been shaped by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s comprehensive student support services. 

These programs, including Counseling and Psychological Services, play a key role in reinforcing positive enrollment and retention trends on campus. In fact, for the fall 2024 semester, UNL announced a record-setting 86% retention rate among first-year students returning for their sophomore campaign.

In the video above, Casperson shares how these services have helped her navigate challenges and stay on track toward graduation, offering a personal look at how UNL supports students in achieving their goals.
