No one does Health Sciences better than @UNKearney!
Hands-on learning. Real-world skills. Future careers. 🩺🔬
Nearly 20 high school students joined us on campus today for the first of four Health Science Explorers Summer Camps, diving into hands-on experiences across a variety of health care fields.
From solving a simulated crime in a forensics lab to practicing IV placement and ultrasound techniques, campers got a firsthand look at the skills, technology and careers shaping the future of medicine.

Today's Clue - Louie’s stop feels nothing like Nebraska. White sand, blue water, and a nickname are enough for locals to know exactly where you are.
Louie has been traveling for 5 days showing off the Loper Plate.

Let's get digital! 📹
This week's Digital Expressions Media Camp saw students gain hands-on experience with the tools and skills used by today's media professionals.
Launched in 2016, the camp provides hands-on instruction in storytelling using professional-level equipment and software. This year, 19 campers anchored and produced a news program, went live as DJs on the campus KLPR Sports radio, learned the fundamentals of photography, videography and video editing, listened to guest speakers from the media industry and toured local broadcast stations, including Usher Media and NTV News.

Janet and I have enjoyed our time @UNKearney. We look forward to new challenges, but we will always be Lopers!
Today we said goodbye to two of the most dedicated Lopers 🤘
Dr. Paul Twigg came to UNK in 1992 as a Biology professor and is the current dean of the @cas_unk
Dr. Janet Steele came to campus in 1993 as a Biology professor and has held various different roles across campus including her favorite, scorekeeper for UNK home volleyball matches.
With 67 years of combined experience these two have demonstrated what it means to be a Loper and we can't thank them enough for their service to our campus!

Carter Schultz, who recently earned a degree in applied health sciences with a minor in public health, is part of the inaugural cohort of students enrolled in the @UNMCCOM pharmacy program based at the recently opened Health Science Education Center II. Upon completion of his pharmacy degree, he wants to begin his career at a smaller, community pharmacy where he can create meaningful connections with patients.
“I love small-town Nebraska,” Schultz said. “I want to go back, not necessarily to Doniphan (Schultz hometown), but to a small town because that’s where I want to raise a family someday. The small-town feel brings a lot of charm and has definitely shaped me into who I am today. I don’t think you can get a true Nebraska experience unless you’re going to one of these small schools.”
