Description
Are you a new first-year student? Are you curious about undergraduate research?
Light a FYRE within! This online (Zoom) Information Session and Application Workshop will introduce you to the First Year Research Experience (FYRE) program at UNL, designed to help students engage in undergraduate research early in their academic journey.
Ioanna Kipourou, Lead FYRE Advisor & Graduate Assistant; and Courtney Santos, Director, Undergraduate Research & Fellowships, will discuss the following topics:
1. What is undergraduate research?;
2. Benefits of FYRE (mentorship connections, experiential learning, and more!);
3. Eligibility for FYRE employment (e.g. federal work-study), or unpaid research activities through course enrollment;
4. How to search for FYRE undergraduate research opportunities; and
5. Select 3 research experiences that match with your unique interests and goals for your first year.
Finally, the workshop will conclude with a step-by-step walkthrough of the FYRE application process, offering tips and strategies for a successful application.
The FYRE application is open annually from early June to mid-July.

- [00:00:00.000]But let's get started with our
- [00:00:04.200]FYRE program.
- [00:00:06.440]So this is an application
- [00:00:08.100]workshop, essentially.
- [00:00:09.640]So we will talk about what FYRE
- [00:00:11.910]is.
- [00:00:12.400]I'm sure you're becoming more
- [00:00:13.740]and more familiar with more and
- [00:00:15.920]more acronyms here at UNL.
- [00:00:18.760]So FYRE is, well, my personal
- [00:00:20.740]favorite one, because it's the
- [00:00:22.810]first year research experience.
- [00:00:25.540]And it represents students who
- [00:00:28.350]participate in a program that
- [00:00:31.010]promotes research in their
- [00:00:32.320]first year of studies.
- [00:00:34.020]But it is coordinated by us,
- [00:00:35.990]the Office of Undergraduate
- [00:00:37.970]Research and Fellowships.
- [00:00:40.140]So we try to create connections
- [00:00:42.770]across the campus.
- [00:00:44.660]So it's not just, I should go
- [00:00:46.840]into slideshow mode, sorry.
- [00:00:49.380]So there are three of us in the
- [00:00:51.100]department.
- [00:00:52.100]So Courtney SantOs, who is also
- [00:00:53.960]here today, is our director.
- [00:00:55.540]And she's our lead advisor.
- [00:00:57.180]And she's the person who has an
- [00:00:58.940]overview of all of our programs.
- [00:01:01.100]Kali Patterson, who's not here
- [00:01:02.340]today, but she's the project
- [00:01:03.490]coordinator and lead advisor.
- [00:01:06.020]And she specifically
- [00:01:08.030]coordinates UCARE, which is
- [00:01:09.360]another very interesting
- [00:01:11.190]program that we'll
- [00:01:12.300]talk about a little bit later.
- [00:01:14.440]And you can also do some
- [00:01:16.280]research on it online.
- [00:01:18.420]And then there's me, Ioana.
- [00:01:20.640]And I'm the graduate assistant
- [00:01:22.240]here at FYRE.
- [00:01:23.080]This is my second year.
- [00:01:24.020]I'm also a graduate assistant.
- [00:01:25.020]I'm also a fellowships advisor
- [00:01:27.020]and the lead advisor for FYRE.
- [00:01:28.840]So you will have to interact
- [00:01:30.490]with me quite a bit if you are
- [00:01:33.000]selected to be part of FYRE.
- [00:01:35.880]I'm also a master's student.
- [00:01:38.400]So I'm doing my master's in
- [00:01:39.650]educational administration and
- [00:01:41.490]student affairs.
- [00:01:43.180]My background is in English and
- [00:01:44.760]American studies.
- [00:01:45.900]And I'm originally from Greece.
- [00:01:48.260]I've studied in different
- [00:01:49.470]places, in Germany, in Austria,
- [00:01:51.340]and before coming to UNL,
- [00:01:54.500]I was at OSU.
- [00:01:56.320]I was working there as a
- [00:01:58.140]lecturer.
- [00:01:59.160]And so for the past, well, one
- [00:02:01.760]and a half years, I've been
- [00:02:04.080]here at UNL working with
- [00:02:05.640]Courtney and Kali.
- [00:02:07.440]So we are the Office of Undergraduate
- [00:02:09.340]Research and Fellowships.
- [00:02:10.860]You can check out our website
- [00:02:13.350]over here at URAF.UNL.edu.
- [00:02:16.420]And we are your people when it
- [00:02:18.500]comes to applying for FYRE and
- [00:02:20.680]becoming part of FYRE.
- [00:02:22.620]But...
- [00:02:23.620]Okay.
- [00:02:24.500]So once again, the program is
- [00:02:27.760]based on what you want to do
- [00:02:30.610]and on your project.
- [00:02:33.120]So these are some of our FYRE
- [00:02:36.330]students from this past year.
- [00:02:40.040]From the first one, you can see
- [00:02:42.760]some students in our workshop,
- [00:02:45.540]and then you can see students
- [00:02:47.860]who are conducting research in
- [00:02:50.160]labs or in different formats.
- [00:02:52.620]I'm trying to see.
- [00:02:53.980]Okay.
- [00:02:54.500]And then we have some of our
- [00:02:56.410]students who are part of the
- [00:02:58.250]teaching, learning and teacher
- [00:02:59.560]education, and some of our
- [00:03:01.250]students who are more in a lab-based
- [00:03:03.450]project.
- [00:03:04.280]So FIRE covers different kinds
- [00:03:06.500]of projects.
- [00:03:07.640]I have a list of those projects
- [00:03:10.290]right here for you.
- [00:03:11.960]So you can take a look.
- [00:03:12.960]And this is just a selection, I
- [00:03:15.080]have to say, because we have
- [00:03:17.030]dozens of projects every year.
- [00:03:20.620]But you can see that projects
- [00:03:21.850]range from the School of Global
- [00:03:23.120]Integrated Learning to the
- [00:03:24.300]School of Creative Studies, to
- [00:03:25.950]Entomology, to Teaching,
- [00:03:27.400]Learning and Teacher Education,
- [00:03:29.200]to the School of Biological
- [00:03:30.920]Sciences, Department of
- [00:03:32.580]Communication Studies, the
- [00:03:34.440]Nebraska Center
- [00:03:35.060]for Virology.
- [00:03:36.920]So you have all sorts of
- [00:03:38.720]projects and we're open to new
- [00:03:41.390]projects always.
- [00:03:42.800]So as long as, you know, there's
- [00:03:45.300]a place for you here at UNL,
- [00:03:47.200]there is a project here for
- [00:03:49.160]you at FIRE as well.
- [00:03:52.400]So what is FIRE?
- [00:03:54.100]FIRE is essentially an
- [00:03:55.320]opportunity for first year
- [00:03:56.800]college students to work on a
- [00:03:58.350]research
- [00:03:58.920]or a creative project under the
- [00:04:00.950]guidance and supervision of a
- [00:04:02.920]faculty mentor.
- [00:04:04.240]So this, of course, project
- [00:04:06.900]should be something that is
- [00:04:09.150]supported by a FIRE mentor who
- [00:04:11.840]is
- [00:04:12.000]here to guide you.
- [00:04:14.800]You can, because I'm assuming
- [00:04:16.960]you have some questions about
- [00:04:19.040]this, so we can hold on to
- [00:04:20.880]those for later.
- [00:04:22.460]But we...
- [00:04:23.900]We can essentially match you
- [00:04:25.450]with a mentor who can support
- [00:04:27.270]your project, right?
- [00:04:28.460]Their project and vice versa.
- [00:04:31.700]Some of the key features of FYRE
- [00:04:34.320]is that you need to be involved
- [00:04:36.870]for from five until up
- [00:04:38.780]to 10 hours per week during the
- [00:04:41.900]academic year.
- [00:04:43.460]And this can really range from,
- [00:04:45.780]you know, only five hours the
- [00:04:47.970]first week to 10 hours
- [00:04:49.920]when you have some extra time
- [00:04:51.870]or when you have exams.
- [00:04:53.700]You cannot even make, like,
- [00:04:55.370]five hours, and that's okay,
- [00:04:57.110]right, because you're prioritizing
- [00:04:59.320]your studies.
- [00:05:00.320]You're here as a UNL student
- [00:05:01.530]and, of course, you're here as
- [00:05:02.940]a FYRE student.
- [00:05:03.860]Those two go together.
- [00:05:05.620]But what we want you to think
- [00:05:07.450]about, like, and prioritize
- [00:05:09.490]mostly is your studies.
- [00:05:11.300]So if you can make five hours
- [00:05:13.660]of work on one week, then try
- [00:05:16.130]and catch up and do some more
- [00:05:18.500]hours the week after or
- [00:05:21.100]something.
- [00:05:22.500]FIRE is paid.
- [00:05:23.500]So if you want to make five
- [00:05:24.340]hours of work on one week, then
- [00:05:25.380]try and catch up and do some
- [00:05:28.220]more hours the week after.
- [00:05:29.220]So if you want to make five
- [00:05:29.530]hours of work on one week, then
- [00:05:29.910]try and catch up and do some
- [00:05:30.220]more hours the week after.
- [00:05:31.220]So if you can make five hours
- [00:05:31.510]of work on one week, then try
- [00:05:31.840]and catch up and do some more
- [00:05:32.220]hours the week after.
- [00:05:33.220]So if you can make five hours
- [00:05:33.530]of work on one week, then try
- [00:05:33.800]and catch up and do some more
- [00:05:34.220]hours the week after.
- [00:05:35.220]So if you can make five hours
- [00:05:35.510]of work on one week, then try
- [00:05:35.800]and catch up and do some more
- [00:05:36.220]hours the week after.
- [00:05:37.220]So if you can make five hours
- [00:05:37.510]of work on one week, then try
- [00:05:37.800]and catch up and do some more
- [00:05:38.220]hours the week after.
- [00:05:39.220]So if you can make five hours
- [00:05:39.580]of work on one week, then try
- [00:05:39.900]and catch up and do some more
- [00:05:40.220]hours the week after.
- [00:05:41.220]conducting research on but you're
- [00:05:43.350]also being provided
- [00:05:44.680]opportunities to present
- [00:05:46.320]your projects to talk about
- [00:05:49.140]your project with other with
- [00:05:52.070]peers so it's a really a
- [00:05:54.460]program that builds your career
- [00:05:56.840]skills your professional skills
- [00:05:59.610]your
- [00:05:59.720]communication skills and so on
- [00:06:02.710]and Courtney was just setting
- [00:06:05.170]some events in
- [00:06:06.360]our chat sorry I just saw the
- [00:06:08.240]notification so please do also
- [00:06:10.280]check
- [00:06:10.740]check those events out so why
- [00:06:14.320]would you why should you join FHIR
- [00:06:16.680]right well
- [00:06:18.000]there's many reasons right
- [00:06:19.420]since you're here already I
- [00:06:20.870]think you know a little
- [00:06:21.840]bit about FYRE but we can talk
- [00:06:23.930]about more about how you can
- [00:06:25.810]contribute to
- [00:06:27.120]real-world research like your
- [00:06:29.020]match to projects that are
- [00:06:30.630]already happening that
- [00:06:32.580]have already received some kind
- [00:06:34.340]of funding that I already
- [00:06:35.760]supported
- [00:06:36.340]by professor by faculty mentor
- [00:06:39.210]who may also have a like a
- [00:06:41.430]research group right
- [00:06:43.060]in so many cases so there's
- [00:06:45.250]other researchers just like you
- [00:06:47.030]or more
- [00:06:47.580]advanced who are there to
- [00:06:49.690]support you and they're also
- [00:06:51.410]learning through this
- [00:06:52.540]program right and with FHIR you
- [00:06:56.840]can build your career-ready
- [00:06:58.300]skills like we
- [00:06:59.340]do a lot of writing workshops
- [00:07:01.040]problem-solving workshops
- [00:07:02.670]networking
- [00:07:03.280]you're already part of FYRE
- [00:07:05.230]once you're in the program
- [00:07:06.320]like you're part of a network
- [00:07:08.220]so you're connected with your
- [00:07:09.990]peers and you meet
- [00:07:12.020]with them quite regularly and
- [00:07:14.290]then you you can get to create
- [00:07:16.460]some kind of you
- [00:07:18.060]know group within UNL that you
- [00:07:20.170]can understand each other and
- [00:07:22.130]interact on a
- [00:07:23.060]daily basis almost if you want
- [00:07:25.190]to right connect with faculty
- [00:07:27.470]researchers and
- [00:07:28.460]peers as I said you're
- [00:07:29.900]supported by faculty
- [00:07:31.420]mentor but this faculty mentor
- [00:07:33.970]usually has a group of other
- [00:07:36.300]students especially when you're
- [00:07:38.370]working in lab right so there
- [00:07:41.030]you have for
- [00:07:41.880]example grad student graduate
- [00:07:43.210]students who are there to
- [00:07:44.420]support you and to add
- [00:07:45.420]to add to the FHIR experience
- [00:07:47.160]and you have your peers as well
- [00:07:48.940]we're going
- [00:07:49.740]through this process as a first-year
- [00:07:52.250]student together so we connect
- [00:07:54.450]you
- [00:07:54.660]through our workshops as well
- [00:07:57.430]so by interacting with all
- [00:07:59.480]these people you
- [00:08:00.560]can also explore a grad school
- [00:08:02.880]and future careers we provide
- [00:08:05.200]usually we have
- [00:08:06.280]a workshop that talks about you
- [00:08:08.100]know what's after FYRE although
- [00:08:10.110]you're still
- [00:08:10.820]in FYRE so we we can get to
- [00:08:12.120]give you provide you with
- [00:08:13.550]opportunities such as
- [00:08:14.740]grad school options
- [00:08:16.620]opportunities and also connect
- [00:08:18.460]you with grad students
- [00:08:19.840]through the through your lab or
- [00:08:21.470]through your project you also
- [00:08:24.780]have the
- [00:08:25.360]opportunity to present or
- [00:08:26.660]publish your work this can be
- [00:08:28.980]different things we
- [00:08:31.820]will see I think it's now let
- [00:08:36.260]me see
- [00:08:36.260]this no I'm sorry you we will
- [00:08:38.940]have the student research days
- [00:08:40.780]that we'll see in a
- [00:08:42.020]bit or other opportunities
- [00:08:43.780]maybe your professor has has
- [00:08:46.720]been involved in a
- [00:08:48.980]project that has a conference
- [00:08:51.050]and maybe you can join them so
- [00:08:53.060]there's
- [00:08:53.660]opportunities like that that
- [00:08:55.480]may be available to you or
- [00:08:57.000]maybe you know you're
- [00:08:58.300]working on on a project that
- [00:09:01.000]your professor is publishing
- [00:09:04.030]some kind of book or some kind
- [00:09:06.240]of journal entry and so you can
- [00:09:09.650]get to be part of that already
- [00:09:11.700]from your first
- [00:09:12.540]semester I mean first year
- [00:09:14.590]first semester so that's that's
- [00:09:17.600]amazing as
- [00:09:18.460]such then FHIR is connected
- [00:09:20.760]with experiential learning so
- [00:09:23.250]if you haven't
- [00:09:24.540]heard of the term before here
- [00:09:26.700]at UNL especially we place a
- [00:09:28.780]lot of importance
- [00:09:29.820]on experiential learning which
- [00:09:31.500]is basically hands-on learning
- [00:09:33.650]right so
- [00:09:34.300]you'll learn through doing
- [00:09:36.220]it's part of our departments or
- [00:09:39.770]of all our departments curricula
- [00:09:42.400]so majors and
- [00:09:44.360]minors are structured with
- [00:09:46.520]focus on experiential learning
- [00:09:48.770]and this is what we
- [00:09:50.200]are supporting as well through
- [00:09:52.670]FHIR so not only are you paired
- [00:09:54.940]with a faculty
- [00:09:55.780]mentor for research but you're
- [00:09:57.540]also and you're conducting
- [00:09:59.100]research with them but
- [00:10:00.460]you're also attending monthly
- [00:10:01.920]cohort workshops in which you
- [00:10:03.340]are provided with
- [00:10:04.220]different information
- [00:10:06.200]with different activities
- [00:10:07.650]through which you're learning
- [00:10:09.920]specific skills and it
- [00:10:13.500]can be communication skills it
- [00:10:15.360]can be career development
- [00:10:17.200]skills it can be
- [00:10:17.920]writing skills and we also
- [00:10:19.510]support your development
- [00:10:21.130]through our canvas so
- [00:10:22.580]canvas is the platform through
- [00:10:24.680]which I think all of your
- [00:10:26.390]courses are supported
- [00:10:28.160]so you know where you have your
- [00:10:29.900]syllabi for your courses so you
- [00:10:31.830]also have some
- [00:10:33.260]information about FYRE through
- [00:10:36.180]Canvas and those will include
- [00:10:41.300]professional development
- [00:10:42.060]activities we
- [00:10:43.840]will have updates for you there
- [00:10:45.960]we usually you know send
- [00:10:47.400]reminders through
- [00:10:48.240]canvas about our monthly
- [00:10:50.150]meetings and and I think
- [00:10:52.110]Courtney was just adding
- [00:10:53.460]something to the yes thank you
- [00:10:56.650]to so you can you can check out
- [00:10:59.640]what's
- [00:10:59.980]happening with FYRE when you
- [00:11:02.300]just click on your canvas app I
- [00:11:04.720]think we have the the
- [00:11:06.160]application on our phones
- [00:11:07.300]everybody has those and you can
- [00:11:09.450]see the updates and
- [00:11:11.660]announcements there clicking
- [00:11:17.600]okay what else do we do here as
- [00:11:20.620]as the office of
- [00:11:22.220]undergraduate research and
- [00:11:24.980]fellowships we also help you
- [00:11:27.790]develop by connecting
- [00:11:29.980]you with different programs
- [00:11:32.450]with different departments and
- [00:11:35.180]what you do as a
- [00:11:36.140]student is besides being part
- [00:11:38.210]of our cohorts and our works of
- [00:11:40.150]a cohort and
- [00:11:41.060]our workshops you're also
- [00:11:42.670]assisting with new or ongoing
- [00:11:44.430]research project and an
- [00:11:45.640]ongoing research project sorry
- [00:11:48.070]you attend lab or team meetings
- [00:11:50.410]and you ask
- [00:11:51.200]questions and make research
- [00:11:53.580]contributions I think what FHIR
- [00:11:55.900]what
- [00:11:55.900]makes FYRE so special and so
- [00:11:57.880]unique is it's exactly that
- [00:11:59.870]like from the get-go
- [00:12:01.460]essentially of your studies you're
- [00:12:03.510]introduced to what research is
- [00:12:05.130]and you
- [00:12:05.580]become part of that research
- [00:12:06.120]and you become part of that
- [00:12:06.120]research and you
- [00:12:06.120]become part of that research
- [00:12:07.420]and you become part of like
- [00:12:08.450]research like real
- [00:12:09.360]academic research right that
- [00:12:11.410]contributes to to real-world
- [00:12:15.220]issues I mentioned
- [00:12:17.560]before that you may have
- [00:12:20.500]presentation opportunities some
- [00:12:24.320]of those are more you
- [00:12:27.320]know demanding and some of
- [00:12:28.850]those are for a first-year
- [00:12:30.420]student I can totally
- [00:12:31.660]understand that and some of
- [00:12:33.270]them are more let's say
- [00:12:34.600]informal or casual right
- [00:12:36.100]so we have student research
- [00:12:38.240]days that are happening in
- [00:12:40.190]spring and those those
- [00:12:42.340]two three days are like it is
- [00:12:44.570]an opportunity for you to
- [00:12:46.610]develop a poster
- [00:12:48.080]just like this one that we see
- [00:12:49.240]in the picture about your
- [00:12:50.280]research that you've
- [00:12:51.220]been conducting and then
- [00:12:53.210]present and communicate with
- [00:12:55.570]other researchers as
- [00:12:57.320]well as an audience right
- [00:12:59.230]people who are visiting this
- [00:13:02.200]essential exhibition right
- [00:13:04.180]and they check out what's
- [00:13:06.590]happening at UNL in terms of
- [00:13:09.240]research we also have
- [00:13:11.000]the summer research symposium
- [00:13:13.240]which takes place in August if
- [00:13:15.520]I'm not
- [00:13:15.940]mistaken so that's another
- [00:13:18.390]opportunity for you to present
- [00:13:21.650]your project and of
- [00:13:23.640]course publishing in academic
- [00:13:25.290]journals something that you can
- [00:13:27.000]discuss more with
- [00:13:28.740]your faculty members depending
- [00:13:30.510]on you know the field that you're
- [00:13:32.250]in and the
- [00:13:32.840]the media that they're using
- [00:13:33.340]and so that's another
- [00:13:33.710]opportunity for you to
- [00:13:34.160]publish your research our very
- [00:13:37.280]own five-minute symposium
- [00:13:40.880]however is one of
- [00:13:42.440]those I think it's between
- [00:13:44.160]formal and informal because it's
- [00:13:46.160]a great
- [00:13:46.660]opportunity for you to present
- [00:13:48.920]your work in a in a setting
- [00:13:50.730]that is familiar it's
- [00:13:52.060]here at UNL it's our final
- [00:13:53.970]event it's my personally most
- [00:13:56.500]favorite event because
- [00:13:57.840]everybody gets together and we
- [00:14:00.380]are presenting I mean students
- [00:14:02.900]are presenting
- [00:14:04.140]their research and they're they
- [00:14:06.580]can actually look back and
- [00:14:08.710]reflect on on
- [00:14:09.660]their on the very beginning of
- [00:14:12.020]their studies here at UNL and
- [00:14:14.280]how far they've
- [00:14:15.120]come within just two semesters
- [00:14:18.160]this is from our very last mini
- [00:14:21.140]symposium just
- [00:14:21.980]now in April and students were
- [00:14:24.430]really really our students were
- [00:14:26.660]really really
- [00:14:27.800]excited and we had really fun
- [00:14:30.120]it might not look like we did
- [00:14:32.510]because of the gray
- [00:14:33.720]wall the gray background it was
- [00:14:36.330]a really fun event and it was
- [00:14:38.630]good to see how
- [00:14:39.900]everyone has has really
- [00:14:42.400]developed interest in research
- [00:14:45.830]some more of our
- [00:14:48.760]fire students and our fire
- [00:14:50.840]success stories our fire alumni
- [00:14:53.660]you can see just
- [00:14:54.600]three of them here but we have
- [00:14:56.690]many more so some students who
- [00:14:59.160]begin with the
- [00:15:00.480]research in the first year with
- [00:15:02.610]fire they end up going to the
- [00:15:03.700]university and
- [00:15:03.700]go to Penn State as doctoral
- [00:15:05.890]students just like Elizabeth
- [00:15:08.310]here or Clementine
- [00:15:09.920]here who was part of the Russo
- [00:15:11.800]lab was retained for a second
- [00:15:13.630]year right so you
- [00:15:15.660]know you're part of a lab in
- [00:15:16.980]your first year and if they
- [00:15:18.320]have funding if they
- [00:15:19.340]hit there's position available
- [00:15:21.620]and if you're doing a good job
- [00:15:23.540]as well like
- [00:15:24.480]they're gonna hold on to you
- [00:15:25.730]because they want students like
- [00:15:27.220]you who want to
- [00:15:27.940]do research and the same thing
- [00:15:29.620]with Haley she was part of home
- [00:15:31.460]lab so she
- [00:15:32.560]continued her project
- [00:15:33.680]through you care and you care
- [00:15:36.310]is a program that you can
- [00:15:38.500]really apply after
- [00:15:40.280]you well during and after you
- [00:15:42.440]complete fires it can start out
- [00:15:44.770]as of the summer
- [00:15:45.660]of your first year that's why I
- [00:15:47.410]said during and after right and
- [00:15:49.370]it's a
- [00:15:49.780]program through which you can
- [00:15:51.330]continue your research or
- [00:15:52.650]developing new project
- [00:15:53.960]with a mentor but more of that
- [00:15:56.450]later like first we want you to
- [00:15:58.400]go through
- [00:15:58.820]fire okay so in terms of a
- [00:16:03.660]timeline I think like I'm
- [00:16:05.370]talking too much but we have a
- [00:16:07.000]lot of important
- [00:16:07.740]information for you guys so
- [00:16:09.590]there's three things three
- [00:16:11.430]steps that we should
- [00:16:13.440]remember in terms of the fire
- [00:16:15.030]timeline the first one is that
- [00:16:17.560]you know you have
- [00:16:19.040]to verify your work-study
- [00:16:21.270]status so you have to fill out
- [00:16:23.220]FAFSA and check it in
- [00:16:25.080]my red and my red once again
- [00:16:26.970]you might already be familiar
- [00:16:28.900]with it but it's
- [00:16:29.980]also a platform through which
- [00:16:32.850]you can see like your
- [00:16:33.640]grades or you can enroll for
- [00:16:35.400]courses and you can also see if
- [00:16:37.320]you are receiving
- [00:16:38.740]if your work-study eligible and
- [00:16:42.110]if all of that is unclear to
- [00:16:44.400]you in terms of
- [00:16:45.640]financials you can also contact
- [00:16:48.610]Husker hub they're very fast
- [00:16:51.150]when it comes to
- [00:16:52.320]financial issues they won't
- [00:16:53.800]they're there to support you so
- [00:16:55.390]please do
- [00:16:55.960]contact Husker hub to see if
- [00:16:58.100]you're eligible and and what's
- [00:17:00.520]your status
- [00:17:01.540]exactly
- [00:17:03.620]you need to explore
- [00:17:05.400]opportunities so we will go
- [00:17:07.680]through that in a bit but our
- [00:17:10.120]current positions all of are
- [00:17:12.140]available until July 15th so
- [00:17:14.520]that's roughly a
- [00:17:15.740]week from today right we need
- [00:17:18.280]you to browse available fire
- [00:17:20.240]research and
- [00:17:21.180]creative projects and submit a
- [00:17:22.790]short applications where you
- [00:17:24.340]rank your top
- [00:17:25.100]three choices and we will talk
- [00:17:27.850]about that in a little bit as
- [00:17:30.380]well in more
- [00:17:31.520]detail and the last step is
- [00:17:33.600]you get matched essentially and
- [00:17:35.880]you start fire this year we
- [00:17:37.780]start firing on
- [00:17:39.060]September 2nd and after you
- [00:17:41.680]match with your faculty manager
- [00:17:44.360]you will be
- [00:17:45.180]notified around mid-august so
- [00:17:48.900]roughly in a month from now and
- [00:17:52.970]so you will have a
- [00:17:54.040]little bit of an adjustment
- [00:17:55.340]time between like the beginning
- [00:17:56.900]of the semester and
- [00:17:57.860]getting to know your mentor a
- [00:18:00.060]little bit and then you'll
- [00:18:02.400]start with fire on September
- [00:18:03.580]2nd okay so just a few more
- [00:18:09.610]things now about eligibility so
- [00:18:14.250]you need to have
- [00:18:16.820]minimum 2.5 high school GPA you
- [00:18:20.200]need to be first-year full-time
- [00:18:23.540]degree-seeking
- [00:18:24.800]students this fall and you also
- [00:18:27.300]we've said this earlier but you
- [00:18:29.710]also need to
- [00:18:30.720]be able to commit five to ten
- [00:18:32.560]hours per week
- [00:18:33.560]on the assigned research or
- [00:18:35.090]creative project I know it can
- [00:18:36.660]be hard sometimes
- [00:18:37.840]a lot of students including
- [00:18:40.380]myself tend to be a little bit
- [00:18:42.160]ambitious and take
- [00:18:43.160]over a little bit too much of a
- [00:18:45.800]workload but if you need to if
- [00:18:49.190]you need
- [00:18:50.300]to like invest time in research
- [00:18:52.390]through fire and if you want to
- [00:18:54.400]be part of fire
- [00:18:55.440]right you need to commit to
- [00:18:57.940]those five to ten hours per
- [00:19:00.300]week and you also need
- [00:19:02.000]to talk about
- [00:19:03.540]like your schedule to your
- [00:19:05.410]advisor so that it's it's
- [00:19:08.190]possible right so we
- [00:19:09.500]want you to have time to
- [00:19:11.440]actually be able to focus on
- [00:19:13.750]research and not just
- [00:19:15.300]to you know get things done in
- [00:19:16.990]a way that you're not learning
- [00:19:18.770]the purpose of
- [00:19:19.700]fire is that you are hands-on
- [00:19:22.210]learning instead of just you
- [00:19:24.790]know completing a
- [00:19:26.360]task right it's a process it's
- [00:19:28.590]not just completing a task just
- [00:19:30.190]just to complete
- [00:19:31.140]it for the sake of completing
- [00:19:33.520]it so
- [00:19:33.520]five to ten hours commitment is
- [00:19:35.210]really important and I want you
- [00:19:36.970]to really pay
- [00:19:37.600]attention to to that aspect
- [00:19:39.300]when you're building your
- [00:19:40.540]schedule this fall fire
- [00:19:45.200]benefits now so besides the
- [00:19:47.460]commitment that you have to
- [00:19:48.970]make and that can be a
- [00:19:50.960]little bit time restricting
- [00:19:53.020]fire also provides payment at
- [00:19:57.210]minimum wage for
- [00:19:58.460]your work and the course
- [00:20:01.350]enrollment aspect of
- [00:20:03.500]that is a little bit of time
- [00:20:03.940]that you have to make sure that
- [00:20:04.440]you're doing what you're
- [00:20:04.920]doing but we can also provide
- [00:20:07.320]you you and I'll also provide
- [00:20:08.720]you with credit for it
- [00:20:11.880]with fire you're building a
- [00:20:14.300]network in your very first year
- [00:20:15.970]of study studies and you're
- [00:20:17.920]planning your career the people
- [00:20:20.290]that you meet at this level at
- [00:20:22.120]college level are very
- [00:20:23.400]important
- [00:20:24.120]they're going to create you're
- [00:20:26.440]going to create a network
- [00:20:27.670]professional network through
- [00:20:28.800]which
- [00:20:29.040]you you can build like a
- [00:20:30.290]company or you can build
- [00:20:31.680]connections that might help you
- [00:20:33.480]prevent
- [00:20:33.480]your career from going into the
- [00:20:36.200]profession later on so we find
- [00:20:37.280]fire as a very very important
- [00:20:38.280]first step towards building
- [00:20:39.890]your career and fire is your
- [00:20:44.410]first year program but it's
- [00:20:45.520]also
- [00:20:45.780]a pipeline to you care and
- [00:20:47.030]other research programs at UNL
- [00:20:49.420]we are also as an office of
- [00:20:51.540]undergraduate research and
- [00:20:53.640]fellowships we also provide
- [00:20:55.720]advising for other
- [00:20:57.210]opportunities
- [00:20:58.000]so that's why we're
- [00:20:59.220]coordinating this program
- [00:21:01.000]together with all of our
- [00:21:02.540]departments and our
- [00:21:03.460]colleges here at UNL because we
- [00:21:06.060]can really help you once you
- [00:21:08.360]finish fire you can look
- [00:21:10.400]into other opportunities as
- [00:21:12.790]well through our office okay
- [00:21:16.920]this is something new that we're
- [00:21:18.500]adding to fire this year and we're
- [00:21:20.650]very very excited it's a pilot
- [00:21:22.590]program so presidential
- [00:21:24.140]scholars can now join fire
- [00:21:26.110]through unpaid research or
- [00:21:27.980]creative projects and they're
- [00:21:30.280]paired with course enrollment
- [00:21:32.560]again through our experience
- [00:21:33.440]and experiential learning
- [00:21:35.240]requirement so for presidential
- [00:21:37.500]scholars the process is not
- [00:21:39.770]that

- [00:23:48.170]dream projects that you like um
- [00:23:50.780]and something that you know
- [00:23:53.300]when you

- [00:23:55.090]description when you read about
- [00:23:56.860]the project that makes you feel
- [00:23:58.680]excited that
- [00:23:59.320]makes you feel like oh I would
- [00:24:01.130]love to do that that I can see
- [00:24:02.810]myself
- [00:24:03.340]um working with insects with
- [00:24:05.620]bees like some of the our
- [00:24:07.000]students do I can see myself
- [00:24:09.580]working with
- [00:24:10.820]different languages with
- [00:24:12.400]different cultures right with
- [00:24:14.260]different um culture groups as
- [00:24:16.200]well um number
- [00:24:18.340]three so you'll have to tell us
- [00:24:20.510]why so in order to better match
- [00:24:22.680]you to better understand like
- [00:24:25.060]whether the project matches
- [00:24:27.540]what you want we want you to
- [00:24:29.770]really be real be specific and
- [00:24:32.150]just be honest
- [00:24:33.320]and tell us about yourself and
- [00:24:34.950]why that really excites you
- [00:24:36.430]this project really interests
- [00:24:38.080]you
- [00:24:38.360]this is something that you can
- [00:24:40.230]dream of yourself doing number
- [00:24:42.900]four stay open-minded so here
- [00:24:46.880]you in
- [00:24:47.820]the in the application like you're
- [00:24:51.100]choosing up to three um
- [00:24:53.410]projects so um I would really
- [00:24:55.950]say
- [00:24:56.420]do not say like oh this is my
- [00:24:58.660]number one uh project I only
- [00:25:01.020]want to do this if I if I can
- [00:25:03.300]not do this I don't want to do
- [00:25:05.530]fire at all well I would say
- [00:25:07.970]just even if that's the case
- [00:25:10.790]just pick up
- [00:25:11.600]to three that might be interest
- [00:25:13.480]you and then you know hopefully
- [00:25:15.380]you're matched with your number
- [00:25:17.360]one
- [00:25:17.680]project but if not maybe by the
- [00:25:19.610]time you know we're announcing
- [00:25:21.620]our results maybe you've
- [00:25:23.250]changed
- [00:25:23.920]your mind and you've regretted
- [00:25:26.160]that you didn't like add a
- [00:25:28.040]second or a third um option so
- [00:25:30.110]I would
- [00:25:31.800]say just just do it just pick
- [00:25:33.410]like three projects and then
- [00:25:35.120]you'll you'll see you'll figure
- [00:25:36.980]it out
- [00:25:37.400]once you're once you have to
- [00:25:39.110]make a decision so do not like
- [00:25:40.900]block yourself from becoming
- [00:25:42.840]part of fire
- [00:25:43.880]um just because right um number
- [00:25:46.920]five the last one here show who
- [00:25:49.550]you are so this is again very
- [00:25:51.080]important so there are the
- [00:25:52.260]questions that we have are I
- [00:25:54.100]mean they do go into some
- [00:25:56.800]detail not
- [00:25:57.960]like very a lot of detail but
- [00:26:00.300]there's
- [00:26:01.780]like opportunities for you to

- [00:26:05.460]strengths um as a as a first
- [00:26:07.700]year student
- [00:26:09.060]um your dreams your aspirations

- [00:26:13.020]things we want to see those in
- [00:26:14.820]the
- [00:26:14.980]application so that we know um

- [00:29:36.810]name your email your phone and
- [00:29:38.590]potential
- [00:29:39.140]majors so here um with
- [00:29:41.080]potential majors um I would
- [00:29:43.430]like to say a lot of people
- [00:29:45.620]have faith for how many
- [00:29:48.580]majors I would say stick to
- [00:29:51.060]those that are like really your
- [00:29:53.860]um your primary majors if I can
- [00:29:56.500]say
- [00:29:56.740]that right so if those two
- [00:29:58.810]majors are the main um like
- [00:30:01.060]goal of your studies let's say
- [00:30:03.720]and maybe you
- [00:30:04.420]know by the time you're you're
- [00:30:05.720]finishing your first semester
- [00:30:07.080]your second semester you will
- [00:30:08.340]have changed your mind but
- [00:30:09.880]right now those two are one or
- [00:30:11.770]two right because it can be one
- [00:30:13.330]as well
- [00:30:13.860]I'm not I I was an English
- [00:30:15.360]major so I'm not you know
- [00:30:16.870]judging anybody
- [00:30:18.580]um so um I would say just put
- [00:30:21.120]like the the very um important
- [00:30:24.260]the primary majors that you
- [00:30:26.210]have here
- [00:30:26.740]um okay then there's a few more
- [00:30:29.640]questions are you a trio
- [00:30:31.880]student so this is very I think
- [00:30:34.180]straightforward as you're
- [00:30:35.630]president are you a
- [00:30:36.640]presidential scholar would you
- [00:30:38.990]like to combine
- [00:30:39.780]your fair participation with a
- [00:30:41.360]zero credit course to satisfy
- [00:30:42.890]experiential learning
- [00:30:44.230]requirements for
- [00:30:44.980]your degree remember course
- [00:30:47.200]credit right
- [00:30:48.580]and even if you're unsure here
- [00:30:50.410]if you're like I'm not sure if
- [00:30:52.250]I want to or not I would just
- [00:30:53.860]still
- [00:30:54.180]say yes and then we can talk
- [00:30:56.400]about it and we can talk about

- [00:32:58.700]cooperate with FIRE and you can
- [00:33:00.920]also see a little a title like
- [00:33:02.950]a little
- [00:33:03.380]summary essentially of the
- [00:33:05.660]position if you want to know
- [00:33:07.800]more about the position or if
- [00:33:10.100]something you
- [00:33:11.220]know I would say do it for
- [00:33:12.830]every position that you're
- [00:33:14.690]interested in um like you can
- [00:33:16.630]see for
- [00:33:17.220]example where is the genetic
- [00:33:19.200]diversity of soil borne fungal
- [00:33:21.360]pathogen population so roughly
- [00:33:23.540]you
- [00:33:23.780]know what it is about but not
- [00:33:25.550]exactly so I would just really
- [00:33:27.580]if I were to select this
- [00:33:29.060]position for
- [00:33:29.780]example I would go and open
- [00:33:32.320]find a FIRE opportunity and I
- [00:33:35.150]would go down here I'm sure I've
- [00:33:38.180]forgotten
- [00:33:38.660]the name already of the
- [00:33:40.610]professor Dr. Garcia Roca yes
- [00:33:43.110]okay and I would just go um and
- [00:33:45.740]find this position
- [00:33:47.060]here and see um whether I'm
- [00:33:49.140]interested in this in the
- [00:33:50.920]description or not um and that
- [00:33:55.700]goes for all
- [00:33:56.340]of the projects right so if you
- [00:33:58.050]know you want to do I don't
- [00:33:59.410]know soundscape bird soundscapes
- [00:34:01.540]for
- [00:34:01.700]example then I'm guessing this
- [00:34:03.540]is your ideal project so you
- [00:34:05.300]will go with this one first for
- [00:34:07.060]example right um so when you're
- [00:34:10.180]choosing your first choice um I
- [00:34:13.300]would like to emphasize here
- [00:34:16.260]that
- [00:34:16.900]you should really give us a
- [00:34:19.330]good a great actually
- [00:34:20.840]explanation of of why you've
- [00:34:22.900]chosen this
- [00:34:23.540]especially if it's your first
- [00:34:25.360]choice right um because you can
- [00:34:27.170]imagine that if there's
- [00:34:28.660]three or five or ten or twenty
- [00:34:30.740]people who are uh looking for
- [00:34:32.820]for matching for the first
- [00:34:34.500]position
- [00:34:35.380]it's going to be perhaps some
- [00:34:36.900]details that really really
- [00:34:38.310]matter when we're matching
- [00:34:39.540]students so we really want you
- [00:34:41.930]to take your time and really um
- [00:34:44.280]think about the importance of
- [00:34:46.740]of um why you're choosing this
- [00:34:48.660]as your first job choice why
- [00:34:51.270]does this job interest you um
- [00:34:54.500]do you
- [00:34:54.740]have any qualifications um that
- [00:34:57.460]are specifically related to the
- [00:35:00.190]ones that are um described here
- [00:35:02.820]in
- [00:35:02.900]this posting so why is this
- [00:35:05.040]important and I'm gonna maybe
- [00:35:07.890]zoom in a little bit because I
- [00:35:09.220]don't know
- [00:35:09.940]how good or bad it is um via
- [00:35:12.710]zoom um we have an example
- [00:35:16.580]for you down here just to give
- [00:35:18.590]you an idea about what you look
- [00:35:20.320]what we are looking for
- [00:35:21.620]when we're matching we're doing
- [00:35:23.360]the matching process and I'm
- [00:35:25.050]just going to read it and
- [00:35:26.180]underline things that are
- [00:35:27.860]important here for you to
- [00:35:29.470]include in your application
- [00:35:31.380]for example I'm interested in
- [00:35:33.790]this opportunity because it
- [00:35:36.140]works with how diseases
- [00:35:38.170]progress
- [00:35:38.900]as well as cell survival so
- [00:35:41.330]here a few things that we
- [00:35:43.100]notice is that we're using I
- [00:35:46.420]the pronoun I I know it can be
- [00:35:48.360]hard sometimes for students
- [00:35:50.520]especially you know first-year
- [00:35:52.020]students
- [00:35:52.420]who are like oh I was just a
- [00:35:53.930]high school student but now you
- [00:35:55.550]know I'm a college student
- [00:35:56.900]suddenly
- [00:35:57.380]and I have to have an opinion
- [00:35:59.360]right but yes you are it's a it's
- [00:36:01.240]a job that you're applying for
- [00:36:03.780]and you need to show how you
- [00:36:05.690]feel and how you are connected
- [00:36:07.980]and how you are interested in
- [00:36:10.030]this
- [00:36:10.260]opportunity so yeah using the
- [00:36:12.150]pronoun I can be a little bit
- [00:36:13.760]challenging but it's very
- [00:36:15.360]important so
- [00:36:16.260]um is you're also expressing
- [00:36:19.250]yourself so you're not
- [00:36:20.440]expressing what somebody else
- [00:36:21.940]thinks of you
- [00:36:22.980]like you're you're telling us
- [00:36:24.840]about you so please be like use
- [00:36:27.490]this I be this person like
- [00:36:29.940]yourself
- [00:36:30.500]instead of saying you know my
- [00:36:32.530]professor my teacher like I
- [00:36:34.470]want to do this right
- [00:36:36.180]you cannot just apply for a job
- [00:36:38.120]and say you know people tell me
- [00:36:40.100]I'm really good at math
- [00:36:41.460]do you are you really good at
- [00:36:43.070]math right what people tell you
- [00:36:45.010]so I'm interested in
- [00:36:46.100]this opportunity because we say
- [00:36:48.400]here because right so we have
- [00:36:50.460]interest and then why it worked
- [00:36:53.460]with how diseases progress as
- [00:36:55.480]well as cell survival so
- [00:36:57.260]already here we can see that
- [00:36:59.060]this
- [00:36:59.300]person is using keywords
- [00:37:01.860]diseases progress and cell
- [00:37:04.660]survival so obviously this
- [00:37:07.480]person has taken
- [00:37:08.820]a look at the specific joke
- [00:37:10.850]posting that they're applying
- [00:37:13.320]for and they have really
- [00:37:14.930]highlighted
- [00:37:15.940]they have really traced what is
- [00:37:18.820]important in this in this
- [00:37:21.280]posting so it's about how
- [00:37:23.790]diseases progress
- [00:37:24.740]and about cell survival and
- [00:37:26.510]these are the two important
- [00:37:28.270]keywords that they need need to
- [00:37:30.880]be in
- [00:37:31.140]the very first sentence of this
- [00:37:33.620]of this answer I hope I'm I'm
- [00:37:35.790]not boring you but I'm trying
- [00:37:38.180]to
- [00:37:38.500]to be very specific um about
- [00:37:40.740]what we're looking for right so
- [00:37:43.270]we need you to show why you're
- [00:37:45.770]impor
- [00:37:45.780]why you're interested and why
- [00:37:47.610]this is important for you this
- [00:37:49.430]job would help me get my foot
- [00:37:51.220]in the
- [00:37:51.460]door for my future career as I
- [00:37:53.310]would like to work in cancer
- [00:37:55.090]research so this person already
- [00:37:57.220]knows
- [00:37:57.940]what this posting is about
- [00:37:59.530]diseases progress how does this
- [00:38:01.470]progress and cell survival
- [00:38:03.300]and then they explain that it's
- [00:38:05.700]not just something that they
- [00:38:07.440]like it's something
- [00:38:08.500]that they want to invest their
- [00:38:10.760]time and to learn more about
- [00:38:12.830]because this is a career
- [00:38:15.620]um goal for them and they know
- [00:38:17.780]it's about cancer research
- [00:38:19.970]right so they know exactly what
- [00:38:22.420]they want
- [00:38:22.500]to do now you're going to say I'm
- [00:38:24.070]just a first year student like
- [00:38:25.630]I don't know everything about
- [00:38:27.300]what I want in life some people
- [00:38:28.940]do some people don't some
- [00:38:30.280]people want to explore so this
- [00:38:32.460]is
- [00:38:32.580]also what the program is
- [00:38:34.320]promoting essentially right it's
- [00:38:36.720]helping you um discover whether
- [00:38:39.060]the
- [00:38:39.300]interests that you have are
- [00:38:41.110]really something that you want
- [00:38:43.030]to do professionally or if you're
- [00:38:45.170]not
- [00:38:45.460]sure about your interests you
- [00:38:47.440]can also explore them we have
- [00:38:49.350]students and I can talk about
- [00:38:51.880]this
- [00:38:52.020]forever obviously as you can
- [00:38:53.740]see but we have students who
- [00:38:55.130]were for example um one of our
- [00:38:57.940]students last year right she um
- [00:39:00.800]she was in um biological
- [00:39:03.000]sciences and then she switched
- [00:39:05.060]and
- [00:39:05.140]she wants to become she's going
- [00:39:07.180]to become a dentist that's her
- [00:39:09.080]decision so this is I mean
- [00:39:10.820]it's not that far like it's it's
- [00:39:13.300]it's in the same general
- [00:39:15.300]field but it's quite different
- [00:39:17.280]from when you're entering like
- [00:39:19.410]wanting to do biological
- [00:39:20.510]sciences
- [00:39:20.980]and then you want to go to to
- [00:39:23.080]um to dental school I think um
- [00:39:25.620]and this is important this is
- [00:39:27.540]why fire
- [00:39:28.340]is very important because it
- [00:39:29.430]helps you explore different
- [00:39:30.500]options and different skills
- [00:39:32.540]that you
- [00:39:32.900]may have I'm going to keep
- [00:39:34.900]going with this text um I think
- [00:39:38.660]the hands-on
- [00:39:39.380]experience is also great for
- [00:39:41.450]learning in a greater depth um
- [00:39:43.600]here we see hands-on
- [00:39:45.140]experience so this person knows
- [00:39:47.120]that this is um this is a
- [00:39:48.480]position that demands being
- [00:39:50.370]involved
- [00:39:51.060]and learning in a greater depth
- [00:39:53.110]so they also understand that
- [00:39:55.020]this is an opportunity for them
- [00:39:57.140]to develop their skills this
- [00:39:58.910]job has the possibility to be
- [00:40:00.770]long term so and I would
- [00:40:03.540]like to be doing research the
- [00:40:05.190]whole time I that I am at UNL
- [00:40:06.630]so some of those labs as we
- [00:40:08.180]said before
- [00:40:08.820]do um offer this opportunity
- [00:40:10.630]and some don't so you have to
- [00:40:12.340]really read carefully um
- [00:40:14.980]what the ad is saying and then
- [00:40:16.720]see if that really matches what
- [00:40:18.620]you want right because some
- [00:40:19.860]people
- [00:40:20.100]want just to do research the
- [00:40:21.570]first year and some people
- [00:40:22.800]already know in the first
- [00:40:24.060]semester they
- [00:40:24.740]want to do a PhD okay and that's
- [00:40:27.500]okay um whatever makes you um
- [00:40:29.960]feel fulfilled and whatever
- [00:40:32.640]makes you
- [00:40:33.380]feel like you know this is what
- [00:40:35.250]I want to do and this is how I
- [00:40:36.880]want to do it I know I have the
- [00:40:38.670]work
- [00:40:38.980]ethic and desire to improve
- [00:40:40.500]every day because I have to
- [00:40:41.850]have these qualities to succeed
- [00:40:43.580]in the degree I want
- [00:40:44.820]so this shows a lot of self-awareness
- [00:40:47.610]to us it shows commitment to
- [00:40:50.110]research it shows work ethic
- [00:40:52.980]and it's the student is also
- [00:40:54.640]using you know the the keywords
- [00:40:56.580]like work ethic is important
- [00:40:58.420]for any
- [00:40:59.060]faculty mentor or any job I
- [00:41:01.560]think um and you know they they
- [00:41:03.700]understand that these qualities
- [00:41:06.400]are needed
- [00:41:07.060]to to um complete their degree
- [00:41:09.320]I'm very thoughtful and work
- [00:41:11.500]well with others so this um
- [00:41:13.470]speaks to this person's
- [00:41:14.660]personal qualities and
- [00:41:17.070]communication skills because in
- [00:41:19.560]engineering classes we have to
- [00:41:20.900]work
- [00:41:21.140]the shared space as a team also
- [00:41:23.570]teamwork so this is how we read
- [00:41:26.000]an application as the people
- [00:41:28.660]who
- [00:41:28.820]do the matching process right
- [00:41:31.020]and this is um what what we're
- [00:41:33.100]looking for we are looking for
- [00:41:35.540]your position your perspective
- [00:41:38.940]your expression and you can
- [00:41:41.840]also see how in the second year
- [00:41:44.500]you can also see how you can
- [00:41:45.970]work with other people um and
- [00:41:47.640]you can also see how you can
- [00:41:48.690]work with other
- [00:41:49.940]people um and you can also see
- [00:41:50.810]how you can work with other
- [00:41:51.600]people so this is how you can
- [00:41:52.430]work with
- [00:41:52.820]other people um and you can
- [00:41:53.550]also see how you can work with
- [00:41:54.330]other people so this is how you
- [00:41:55.160]can work
- [00:41:55.380]with other people um and you
- [00:41:56.170]can also see how you can work
- [00:41:57.000]with other people so this is
- [00:41:57.550]how you can
- [00:41:57.620]work with other people um and
- [00:41:58.650]you can also see how you can
- [00:41:59.480]work with other people um and
- [00:42:00.280]you can also
- [00:42:00.340]see how you can work with other
- [00:42:01.120]people um and you can also see
- [00:42:01.860]how you can work with other
- [00:42:02.360]people
- [00:42:02.420]um and you can also see how you
- [00:42:03.520]can work with other people um
- [00:42:04.610]and you can also see how you
- [00:42:05.030]can work with
- [00:42:05.220]other people um and you can
- [00:42:05.920]also see how you can work with
- [00:42:06.450]other people um and you can
- [00:42:07.040]also see how
- [00:42:08.260]you can work with other people
- [00:42:09.370]um and you can also see how you
- [00:42:10.380]can work with other people um
- [00:42:14.340]and you can
- [00:42:14.340]major, but they're open to
- [00:42:15.880]different positions. And this
- [00:42:17.780]is their second choice. So they're
- [00:42:19.660]explaining why I have always
- [00:42:21.320]been fascinated by the world
- [00:42:23.000]around us, how countries,
- [00:42:24.680]governments and citizens act
- [00:42:26.480]and react internally and
- [00:42:27.910]externally. The main focus of
- [00:42:29.800]the research, the ways people
- [00:42:31.620]respond to human rights
- [00:42:33.020]violations and the ripple
- [00:42:34.570]effects of those responses
- [00:42:36.170]absolutely relates to my
- [00:42:37.640]curiosity regarding
- [00:42:38.890]international relations. So
- [00:42:41.320]here, the student, the
- [00:42:43.340]applicant is
- [00:42:44.320]doing something important. They're
- [00:42:46.690]using a direct quote from the
- [00:42:48.420]text from the posting. I think
- [00:42:50.780]that's also really important,
- [00:42:52.870]because they're incorporating
- [00:42:55.110]it into their argument as to
- [00:42:57.060]how they find this position
- [00:42:59.060]matching their own interests,
- [00:43:01.070]right. So this means that they
- [00:43:02.980]really went through the posting
- [00:43:04.950]very, very closely, they read
- [00:43:06.900]it, and they want they know
- [00:43:08.600]exactly what this position is
- [00:43:10.380]about. And they find that it
- [00:43:12.190]aligns with their own interests.
- [00:43:14.300]The research would allow me the
- [00:43:20.130]opportunity to look more in
- [00:43:25.300]depth at the efforts of
- [00:43:29.560]activists and look deeper into
- [00:43:35.860]how the ICC operates and their
- [00:43:41.040]limitations. So here they're
- [00:43:44.280]giving some more information
- [00:43:44.280]about how that would help him,
- [00:43:44.280]this position would help him
- [00:43:44.280]professionally. Although I have
- [00:43:44.280]no formal research experience,
- [00:43:44.280]honesty, right, I took many
- [00:43:44.280]criminal justice, history and
- [00:43:44.280]government courses in high
- [00:43:44.280]school. So here, like, I don't
- [00:43:44.280]have this
- [00:43:44.280]exact, like experience, but I
- [00:43:46.960]want to gain experience that I
- [00:43:49.190]do have some foundational
- [00:43:51.120]experience. So here, like being
- [00:43:53.240]honest, but also diplomatic
- [00:43:54.280]about their pros and cons, let's
- [00:43:58.130]say, I'm also extremely detail
- [00:44:00.060]oriented and a great critical
- [00:44:01.900]thinker, more personal
- [00:44:03.340]information about like, how
- [00:44:05.160]they they work, how, how they
- [00:44:08.180]approach their position in
- [00:44:11.250]research. And the third choice
- [00:44:14.260]here,
- [00:44:14.260]which can we skip the third
- [00:44:17.400]choice and actually take a look
- [00:44:19.110]at one of those fire
- [00:44:21.080]opportunity posting, we can
- [00:44:23.210]kind of show how to pull those
- [00:44:24.920]direct quotes. Yes. So I'm
- [00:44:27.000]gonna click on the other tab
- [00:44:28.470]here. So if you want to find an
- [00:44:30.660]opportunity, you can either go
- [00:44:32.890]through the college selection.
- [00:44:35.120]So if you're already part of, I
- [00:44:37.200]don't know, the College of Arts
- [00:44:39.360]and Sciences, let's say, and
- [00:44:41.440]you click on search, right.
- [00:44:44.240]And then you see, okay, there's
- [00:45:01.670]a few positions here. All right,
- [00:45:14.220]let me start with the first one,
- [00:45:14.220]Dr. Bennis, investigating fire
- [00:45:14.220]history in the Nebraska Sandhills
- [00:45:14.220]using sediment course. Maybe I'm
- [00:45:14.220]interested, maybe I'm not in,
- [00:45:14.220]it's part of geography, maybe I'm
- [00:45:14.220]not that interested, maybe I'm
- [00:45:14.220]going to go to the next one. Oh,
- [00:45:14.220]psychology. Yes, Dr. Dodd,
- [00:45:14.220]individual differences in
- [00:45:14.220]cognitive process. This is it.
- [00:45:14.220]I'm interested in this project,
- [00:45:14.220]for example. Okay, it's Dr.
- [00:45:14.220]Michael Dodd. And we're going
- [00:45:14.220]to go to the next one.
- [00:45:14.220]What they're looking for,
- [00:45:29.040]potential student tasks. Okay,
- [00:45:44.200]primary data collection, which
- [00:45:44.200]requires initial training on
- [00:45:44.200]our paradigms in the colleges,
- [00:45:44.200]and then fire students would be
- [00:45:44.200]able to make their own schedule
- [00:45:44.200]to collect data. So there's
- [00:45:44.200]already some collection of data
- [00:45:44.200]that exists, some databases,
- [00:45:44.200]and also they want us to
- [00:45:44.200]collect data. They want me as a
- [00:45:44.200]fire student. All right, that
- [00:45:44.200]sounds a little bit scary, but
- [00:45:44.200]I kind of like it because I
- [00:45:44.200]like collecting, I like data, I
- [00:45:44.200]like organizing data. Fire
- [00:45:44.200]students are also expected to
- [00:45:44.200]be able to collect data.
- [00:45:44.200]Fire students are also expected
- [00:45:45.570]to attend lab meetings if they
- [00:45:46.960]fit into their course schedule.
- [00:45:48.510]So that can be good. For me, I
- [00:45:49.930]can learn from other people.
- [00:45:51.250]Lab meetings can be a
- [00:45:52.150]combination of reading group
- [00:45:53.490]discussions, larger real-world
- [00:45:55.030]discussions, or info sessions
- [00:45:56.460]on fire, various professional
- [00:45:57.930]development opportunities. Okay,
- [00:46:00.340]I think I can do that.
- [00:46:02.500]Student qualifications. What
- [00:46:04.530]are they looking for? What kind
- [00:46:06.240]of students? Curious. I am
- [00:46:07.600]curious. Motivated. Check.
- [00:46:09.310]Responsible. Check. Hardworking.
- [00:46:11.380]Check. Able to work
- [00:46:12.390]independently once trained.
- [00:46:14.180]Going. But also willing to ask
- [00:46:16.070]questions whenever you need
- [00:46:17.950]anything. Yeah, that's me. Time
- [00:46:20.840]management can be helpful, and
- [00:46:22.410]it is good to have general
- [00:46:23.880]interpersonal skills for
- [00:46:25.700]interacting with participants.
- [00:46:27.560]Yeah, I think I can do that. I
- [00:46:29.750]like people. I like working
- [00:46:31.850]with people. Time management.
- [00:46:34.340]Yes, I can do that. I can
- [00:46:35.920]manage my time. Training,
- [00:46:38.000]mentoring, and workplace
- [00:46:40.050]community. So here, there's
- [00:46:42.410]information about
- [00:46:44.160]the general environment of this
- [00:46:56.060]position. All of our fire
- [00:47:14.140]students receive initial
- [00:47:14.140]trainings in ethics, lab
- [00:47:14.140]protocols, lab technology,
- [00:47:14.140]primarily eye tracking, and
- [00:47:14.140]general experimental guidance.
- [00:47:14.140]So good. I will receive
- [00:47:14.140]training. The purpose of having
- [00:47:14.140]fire students attend lab
- [00:47:14.140]meetings is to also help
- [00:47:14.140]develop other professional
- [00:47:14.140]skills. We have a very
- [00:47:14.140]supportive and inclusive lab
- [00:47:14.140]with folks at many different
- [00:47:14.140]years of study. Okay, so maybe
- [00:47:14.140]I can interact with graduate
- [00:47:14.140]students too, or people who
- [00:47:14.140]have
- [00:47:14.140]some experience, or people like
- [00:47:15.710]me who are just learning. Great.
- [00:47:17.890]And with very divergent
- [00:47:20.110]backgrounds, this really adds
- [00:47:21.940]the cohesiveness of the lab
- [00:47:23.460]group and makes folks feel more
- [00:47:25.080]involved in the lab relative to
- [00:47:26.840]if they just collected data on
- [00:47:28.790]their own. I agree. I'm a first
- [00:47:31.170]generation college student. Oh,
- [00:47:33.420]so am I. So this professor
- [00:47:35.420]definitely understands how I
- [00:47:36.760]feel. An immigrant from Canada,
- [00:47:38.860]and so it is important to me to
- [00:47:40.540]provide opportunities to
- [00:47:42.120]students seeking them.
- [00:47:44.120]This professor sounds really
- [00:47:45.900]like somebody I would like to
- [00:47:47.180]work with. Lab is very
- [00:47:49.000]supportive, and the grad
- [00:47:50.280]students often help as
- [00:47:51.810]additional advisors, but I'm
- [00:47:53.490]available to students at any
- [00:47:55.010]time for anything. Wow, this
- [00:47:56.730]professor is really open. And I
- [00:47:58.850]already like this position so
- [00:48:00.850]much. This is a good
- [00:48:02.380]opportunity to learn about
- [00:48:03.940]cognitive psychology research,
- [00:48:05.900]a great inroads to neuroscience,
- [00:48:07.860]if you have those interests
- [00:48:09.520]down the road. And we have good
- [00:48:11.210]success getting fire students a
- [00:48:13.070]lot of critical opportunities.
- [00:48:14.100]So this
- [00:48:14.100]is a job that really interests
- [00:48:15.900]me. There's two positions,
- [00:48:17.370]which is good, right? So I can
- [00:48:20.150]get one of them. I can check
- [00:48:22.070]out the department that Dr. Dodd
- [00:48:24.580]works at, and I can see whether
- [00:48:27.120]I really like other things.
- [00:48:32.890]This is such a cool profile
- [00:48:37.180]that the professor has. And I
- [00:48:42.360]can watch a video about this
- [00:48:44.080]professor. I can see what their
- [00:48:44.080]lab does. And I can see more
- [00:48:44.080]about the department of
- [00:48:45.390]psychology here, right? Because
- [00:48:47.250]it's the vision, attention,
- [00:48:48.320]memory, and perception lab,
- [00:48:50.670]sorry, vamp lab, right? So this
- [00:48:53.980]happens with all of those
- [00:48:56.070]positions that we have here,
- [00:48:58.260]depending on the interests that
- [00:49:09.780]you have. And on the professor's
- [00:49:14.060]profile, the faculty mentor
- [00:49:14.060]usually emphasizes specific
- [00:49:14.060]things that they care about
- [00:49:14.060]this, this professor, for
- [00:49:14.060]example, that we just read the
- [00:49:14.060]whole profile about, right,
- [00:49:14.060]they do say, Oh, you know, this
- [00:49:14.060]they're very open, they
- [00:49:15.260]understand that you're at a
- [00:49:16.600]different phase stage of your
- [00:49:18.310]of your research, you're new at
- [00:49:20.160]UNL. So they know that they
- [00:49:22.070]need to support you a little
- [00:49:23.680]bit more than they would that
- [00:49:25.570]they do with graduate students.
- [00:49:27.550]And there's graduate students
- [00:49:29.440]who can also support you. So
- [00:49:31.290]they're already already like
- [00:49:33.130]placing a lot of emphasis on
- [00:49:35.030]the environment, not just the
- [00:49:36.720]research per se. And so you can
- [00:49:38.690]see if you if your interest in
- [00:49:40.430]psychology and in this specific
- [00:49:42.450]project, that
- [00:49:44.040]project, and if not, you move
- [00:49:45.680]on to the next project. And you
- [00:50:14.020]see if something else is there.
- [00:50:14.020]At this point, you're trying to
- [00:50:14.020]look for three projects, and
- [00:50:14.020]then you're trying to rank them,
- [00:50:14.020]right? Because we want you to
- [00:50:14.020]apply using this form that we
- [00:50:14.020]just went through for three
- [00:50:14.020]positions. So we need to
- [00:50:14.020]remember that. So if you if Dr.
- [00:50:14.020]Dodd's project is the number
- [00:50:14.020]one ranked for your
- [00:50:14.020]application, then you need two
- [00:50:15.740]more that you can see yourself
- [00:50:17.350]working in. Courtney, am I do
- [00:50:20.940]we have should we should we go
- [00:50:23.760]to
- [00:50:23.960]that's great. I think maybe we
- [00:50:25.670]should open it up to questions
- [00:50:27.520]at this point.
- [00:50:28.620]Okay, yeah, because time is
- [00:50:30.870]went by so fast.
- [00:50:31.940]That was great.
- [00:50:34.060]Okay. So if there's any
- [00:50:36.790]questions that you may have, I'm
- [00:50:39.750]just going to remind you,
- [00:50:44.000]as well, and the rest of the
