UNK INTERNS DO MEANINGFUL WORK IN OUR COMMUNITY. Valeria Denman, UNK senior in Family Studies from Alda, Nebraska, interned at Lexington Public Schools in the McVinney-Vento Homeless Program. She worked with families to assist them with local resources and organized a dental day. Valeria will graduate in May 2020 and hopes to continue working with children. - Valeria Denman, UNK Senior; Family Studies, Lexington Public Schools,(Fall 2019).

"Doing an internship really opened my eyes and made it much easier to understand concepts that I struggled learning in the classroom. My degree program does an excellent job of preparing students for real life work experience.”
