As the STEM TRAIL Center prepares to move into their new space, renovations on the lower level of Roskens Hall on UNO's Dodge campus are on-target for a May 2024 completion.
The STEM TRAIL Center is currently housed in the Thompson Alumni Center, and Dr. Chris Moore, director, says the new space will bring the Center's collaborative efforts closer to the academic colleges they serve.
This unique workforce initiative represents a groundbreaking $20 million collaborative endeavor between the Aksarben Foundation and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
InternNE Powered by Aksarben will bridge the gap between student interns and employers across the state by providing them with financial support.
The STEM TRAIL Center just launched a LinkedIn page. Follow us to learn more about upcoming events, opportunities, and how we're making an impact at UNO and in the wider Omaha area.
