For the second year, the Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research (NCESR) offered a summer internship opportunity in energy sciences research to undergraduate students in the amount of up to $5,000 for the summer of 2015 Each recipient prepared a poster to describe their research. The posters were presented during the Nebraska Summer Research Symposium on August 12, 2015 at the University of Nebraska City Campus Union. More than 175 students participated in the event, which is sponsored by the Office of Graduate Studies.
