[00:00:03.170]Welcome to the University of Nebraska,
[00:00:05.129]Lincoln.
[00:00:06.550](uptempo music)
[00:00:10.150]We are one of the countries leading
[00:00:12.010]public research universities with more than
[00:00:14.350]253 million dollars in total research expenditures.
[00:00:18.797]Discovery and innovation secure the future
[00:00:21.797]by feeding the world without diminishing
[00:00:24.617]precious natural resources.
[00:00:27.035]The world is very interconnected
[00:00:28.515]on these issues of water and food.
[00:00:30.514]We've built the capability to engineer crops
[00:00:34.595]for nutrition, for bio-energy traits,
[00:00:37.315]for traits that help them to grow
[00:00:39.495]against adverse conditions.
[00:00:41.515]We lead an international team of researchers
[00:00:43.915]who are developing a global food atlas
[00:00:46.115]to help increase crop yields.
[00:00:48.775]We could create a global atlas
[00:00:51.155]of food production potential
[00:00:52.795]that's never been produced before.
[00:00:54.855]Nebraska is on of the states that are known to be
[00:00:58.384]really advanced in agriculture.
[00:01:00.735]And University of Nebraska, Lincoln
[00:01:02.434]is one of the best universities in the agriculture field.
[00:01:05.175]UNL scientists forge solutions
[00:01:08.035]to our most difficult challenges.
[00:01:10.335]From new materials built on the atomic scale
[00:01:13.535]to the study of viruses that attack
[00:01:15.895]humans, plants, and animals.
[00:01:17.935](uptempo music)
[00:01:20.845]We prepare our students for a global world,
[00:01:23.562]providing opportunities for undergraduate research,
[00:01:26.622]internships and study abroad.
[00:01:29.222]We really are very focused on promoting education
[00:01:32.602]and training graduate students
[00:01:34.016]and undergraduate students in this work.
[00:01:36.056]You get to put what you studied into practice.
[00:01:38.537]I think, which is a good skill to have.
[00:01:40.417]The power of partnerships
[00:01:42.636]help to bring new and innovative ideas to life,
[00:01:45.457]both locally and globally.
[00:01:47.977]Nebraska Innovation Campus creates
[00:01:50.357]private sector collaboration by connecting
[00:01:53.137]business and industry with university research and students.
[00:01:57.356]We have a lot of different core facilities here
[00:01:59.697]that provide access to very powerful equipment.
[00:02:02.876]The intrisitiy of finding students to go do, you know,
[00:02:06.421]further internships or you can do research.
[00:02:09.621]I think it's a great bonus to my experience and my future.
[00:02:14.021]Degrees are offered in 38 areas of study
[00:02:17.261]through the College of Agricultural Sciences
[00:02:19.562]and Natural Resources.
[00:02:21.651]You get to be exposed to many things.
[00:02:24.094]It can be agricultural engineering,
[00:02:25.955]conservation agriculture, apprenticeship and leadership.
[00:02:28.255]Put that together and that can help you in the future
[00:02:31.015]because you have a really good experience.
[00:02:33.035]Students work alongside their professors
[00:02:36.155]gaining hands on experience as part of a diverse community.
[00:02:42.305]What makes the faculty good is that they know
[00:02:44.938]what you struggle with and they're concerned.
[00:02:47.018]They want you to succeed.
[00:02:48.638]I get to meet people from China, from Brazil, from India.
[00:02:52.279]From Ivory Coast, Nigeria.
[00:02:54.759]I feel like every country in the world
[00:02:56.958]is represented on this campus.
[00:02:58.378](band playing)
[00:03:00.869]Lincoln's got some fun places.
[00:03:02.709]It's just kinda a short walk, you know, downtown.
[00:03:05.509]We play soccer, we play volley ball.
[00:03:07.589]We wanna go downtown, we usually go have dinner,
[00:03:10.179]and go to the movies.
[00:03:12.629]They really want to know you, you have someone to talk to.
[00:03:15.715]It helps you, like, feel home.
[00:03:17.614]UNL alumni live all over the world.
[00:03:20.275]They make an impact on everything from
[00:03:22.735]science and technology to finance and the arts.
[00:03:26.414](uptempo music)
[00:03:29.655]By the end of the four years, my degree,
[00:03:32.274]I will have more skills which I will take
[00:03:35.075]Back home in Rwanda.
[00:03:37.054]And do something productive.
[00:03:39.394]The University of Nebraska, Lincoln
[00:03:41.195]is looking forward to working with you to shape the future.
