How has the PKFEA program benefited your personal, professional, or academic growth?
PKFEA has helped me succeed so much in my college and professional journey. I have gotten support from the PKFEA staff to help me navigate challenges throughout my time at UNL. I’ve also made connections with my peers as well as professionals in my field. I don’t believe I would be as confident in my journey if it wasn’t for PKFEA peers, mentors, and staff.
