Students have until July 14 to register for the Nebraska Summer Research Symposium. The event allows students to highlight their summer research and creative activity in a short video.

All undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in the 2021 Nebraska Summer Research Symposium on Aug. 4.

The event will allow students to present a five- to eight-minute video showcasing their research and creative activity during the summer.

Students do not need to be part of a structured research program like UCARE or the McNair Scholars Program to participate. All undergraduates are welcome to create a video for the symposium.

Video registrations are due by July 14. Students will have access to MediaHub by July 21 and videos should be uploaded by Aug. 2. Participants from UCARE, the McNair Scholars Program, and the Nebraska Summer Research Program should upload their video by July 28.

A tutorial on using VidGrid and MediaHub is available here. Students should prepare the video under the guidance of their faculty research adviser and are also invited to contact Justina Clark, director of undergraduate research, at jclark17@unl.edu or 402-472-6023, with questions about creating and uploading a video.
