One of the highlights each Spring semester is the opportunity to take our UB students on college campus tours🏫 Last month, we took 18 students to visit Creighton University and the University of Nebraska in Omaha. Students were able to envision themselves as college students during our campus tours and engage with the wonderful TRIO SSS staff members that welcomed us. Our group also got to the opportunity to visit the Museo Latino, the Great Plains Black History Museum, the Omaha Zoo and much more for cultural and educational immersion📚🧠
