Past participant Keith Nickum says...

 

"When my advisor asked me to attend this conference and represent University of Nebraska at Lincoln, I saw it as a chance to talk with faculty at another university and gain a wider perspective about attitudes and ideas in graduate school.

 It was a very interesting chance to get a close look at the graduate program at a different university.   I found the ability to talk with faculty members to be an excellent opportunity to get information -- the most important part of the conference."

"The conference is a very positive influence on those thinking about attending  graduate school."

--Keith Nickum, double major in computer science and mathematics
