ENHANCED IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
The Washington D.C. Professional Enrichment Academy brings together students from all four University of Nebraska campuses for a summer of academic, cultural and social enrichment in our nation’s capital. The program consists of a weekly seminar and various activities in June and July.
