CAST POWER Program
The CAST POWER Program supports first-year students interested in maximizing their success during the first year.
First Husker
The First Husker Program is part of the CAST POWER Program designed for first-generation college students. It consists of a Four-Day foundational event that gives you an opportunity to move to campus early, connect with faculty, staff, and resources, and learn some of the skills and strategies that are vital to college-level success.
Transfer
As a new transfer student, you have an exciting transition ahead of you. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln offers many opportunities for new transfer students, but with any transition challenges can come as well.
Along with the information sent to you by your college, the information provided in this website will help you prepare for a successful transition into Nebraska.
Join CAST Abroad
CAST Abroad offers students the opportunity to explore global perspectives through immersive experiences in places such as Mexico City and Singapore. Students will gain a deeper understanding of each location’s history, culture, and contemporary challenges. Through historical sites, museums, and daily interactions with local guides and university partners, participants will explore each country’s unique national identity. By experiencing firsthand how diverse cultures and nationalities coexist, students will develop a broader perspective on global interconnectedness and community.
