[00:00:00.300]My name is Amelia Stoner and I'm a political science
[00:00:02.602]major from Hastings, Nebraska.
[00:00:04.337]Hi, my name is Ciara Nelson.
[00:00:06.072]I'm a political science and environmental studies major.
[00:00:08.975]I'm from Wagner, South Dakota.
[00:00:10.910]My name is Renna.
[00:00:11.711]I'm a junior sociology major and I'm from Lincoln.
[00:00:14.814]My name is Hannah RothMeier.
[00:00:16.383]I'm a senior majoring in Spanish and international business,
[00:00:20.353]and I am from Crete, Nebraska.
[00:00:25.458]The state senator.
[00:00:27.027]Internships were great
[00:00:28.328]because I got to learn about the Nebraska unicameral process, got to help with
[00:00:32.065]legislative research, and also just have a supportive role in legislation.
[00:00:35.635]And then my internship in Maryland I worked on a campaign
[00:00:39.806]was actually the DC Experiential Fund, which helped me to be in D.C.
[00:00:44.944]My time at the Nebraska Unicameral has really made me excited to do that
[00:00:48.815]line of work.
[00:00:49.516]For the past two years, I've worked as a park management intern
[00:00:52.786]for the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Department.
[00:00:55.955]My experience as an intern has taught me
[00:00:58.258]more about natural ecosystems in South Dakota and the processes
[00:01:02.295]that this state implements to protect them.
[00:01:07.500]Last summer, I studied abroad in Ireland and Northern Ireland
[00:01:10.770]as a faculty led program, so
[00:01:11.905]I went with a group of other UNL students and a couple of professors.
[00:01:16.009]We spent about a month there and we talked to some political figures
[00:01:19.045]who actually had a part in the Good Friday Agreement of the nineties.
[00:01:21.648]I liked it so much. I'm going abroad again this summer.
[00:01:23.683]I'm spending two months in Amsterdam and I'm also considering going abroad
[00:01:27.720]for my master's now too.
[00:01:29.089]I was a school of international training program last spring in Ecuador,
[00:01:33.726]studying development politics and languages.
[00:01:36.596]And I would say this is probably the most influential thing I did in college.
[00:01:41.034]I recommend studying abroad for everybody.
[00:01:43.269]I think that that was one of the most important things
[00:01:45.472]and something that I wouldn't have been able to do without until
[00:01:51.611]I'm a lab
[00:01:52.312]assistant in a viral free mouse lab for the Animal Science Department
[00:01:56.149]on East campus, this experience has allowed me
[00:01:59.452]to connect with more faculty members outside of my original departments
[00:02:03.490]and working with my professors who I actually I had a class with her,
[00:02:06.226]how I met her.
[00:02:07.527]We're researching how the teenage brain is represented in news media,
[00:02:11.064]and I'm really interested in how sociology and media interact.
[00:02:14.467]So it kind of was the perfect project for me to do.
[00:02:16.669]At the Bureau of Sociological Research.
[00:02:18.872]I got to work on various projects that the state does
[00:02:22.041]to collect demographic information.
[00:02:25.044]Getting that research experience and working was just such an amazing and
[00:02:30.750]impactful team.
[00:02:32.018]Yeah, I couldn't have done it without UNL, that's for sure.
