Who
Prospective Students
We’re excited to welcome back UNW alumnus Micah Schott, Ph.D., who will share his journey from North Dakota to the University of Northwestern and now to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Through his story, you’ll be inspired, challenged, and encouraged to consider where your own educational journey could lead.
Following Micah’s presentation, you’ll step into your area of interest for an immersive, hands-on experience. Work alongside faculty and current students as you tackle a project that reflects real coursework in your chosen major. It’s an opportunity to explore your field firsthand, ask questions, make connections, and discover what it’s like to be a UNW student.
