UNL CIVE Graduate Students Association

We’re excited to welcome the new graduate students to the CEE department! There will be a new graduate student orientation held next Friday September 18th at 12 pm. This event is open to all CEE graduate students. We look forward to meeting you!

⭐️Student Spotlight⭐️ Francisco is a 2nd year Master’s student focusing in Structural Engineering. His research objective is to produce a tool that can predict load ratings based on finite element modeling. He recently presented his work to academics, agency leaders, policy-makers, and private consultants at the 99th Annual Transportation Research Board meeting in Washington D.C. Francisco used this opportunity to practice his presentation skills, as well as to learn about innovative advancements related to bridge engineering. Francisco will defend his thesis this spring and has accepted a job offer as a bridge engineer at HDR in Omaha. Congrats Cisco!

Noelle, one of our current PhD students focusing in Environmental Engineering, spent last weekend at the annual Women Empowered in STEM conference hosted by the Society of Women Engineers. Her favorite parts of the conference were listening to a range of topics covered by diverse speakers, as well as making new connections. She even had a chance to reconnect with UNL CEE alumni, Shaobin Li, who is currently a postdoc at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign! @ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
