The Sociology Resource Center in the Department features several personal computers that students can use for research and writing, and the Department also maintains a small but growing video library. Alpha Kappa Delta, the sociology honorary society, works closely with the USA in coordinating participation by NU Sociology majors in the Nebraska Undergraduate Sociology Symposium. This conference, held every November, is a major event for sociology students from across the state. Held on a different campus each year, the symposium includes speeches by noted sociologists, papers presented by undergraduates, and a banquet. Experience gained at the conference is excellent preparation for graduate school.
Internships are available in a variety of government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
All University of Nebraska students have access to hundreds of activities and groups related to specific academic, social, cultural or political interests. Involvement in any of these organizations builds leadership, communication, and organizational skills and helps you to make new friends with those who have similar interests.
