“The impact of the peer coaches in class is immediate. A student struggling in math gets connected to a free tutor, or someone with a roommate or financial issue gets connected to the right campus resource. The coaches help first-year students before things snowball.”

Learn more about the importance of the sophomore, junior and senior coaches who meet with first-year business students as they transition into college and learn about different areas of business.

The School of Accountancy's Student Success Academy helps first-year students start at Nebraska with a built-in support system that guides them throughout college and into their careers. They connect with peer mentors and alumni through the Accounting Careers and Connections class (ACCT 150)

Hands-on learning and industry partnership are at the center of the Nebraska Business capstone experience. This spring, students in Business Strategies (MNGT 475) partnered with Union Bank & Trust and CampusGuard to examine real business challenges and present strategic recommendations to company leaders.

“This experience challenged me to think more strategically, apply frameworks like SWOT, PESTEL and VRIO in a real business setting and collaborate at a high level with an amazing team,” said Madison Tarencz-Rasmusen, senior marketing and management major from McCook, Nebraska.

Emily Frech, junior marketing and Clifton Builders Management major from Erie, Colorado, just returned from spring semester in Nashville working as an ACM Lifting Lives intern with ACM - Academy of Country Music's philanthropic arm. Her internship focused on ACM Awards weekend and its Country on the Green fundraiser in Las Vegas.

She said highlights of the internship were designing event-branded graphics, coordinating operational logistics and communicating with partners, supporting production planning and managing internal tracking systems and event documentation.

"Getting to help bring Country on the Green to life was an experience I’ll never forget. I’m incredibly grateful for every person who trusted me to contribute to such a large-scale event. As someone who wants to build a career in large-scale event production, getting to work behind the scenes of events at this level feels like a dream. It’s the kind of experience you hope to have one day, and I could step into it now."
