UCARE Information for Faculty

 

Information for Faculty who want to participate in the UCARE Program...

 

How do you become involved in UCARE?

Basically, you need to find an undergraduate student! You and the student complete the UCARE application form and submit the form to the UCARE Office in the Office of Undergraduate Studies, 201 Seaton Hall (0683). Application deadlines are once/year in mid February. (The next application deadline is Friday, February 15, 2008 for the next UCARE academic year, which runs from June 1, 2008 - May 31, 2009.)

All full-time UNL faculty are eligible to have a UCARE student. However, visiting professors are not eligible to apply unless they serve as co-sponsors with full-time UNL faculty members.

There are a number of ways to find a student. You can advertise within your department, speak with individual students you know, or post a postion on the UCARE website. (Contact Laura Damuth for details.)

For more information about the program, please see the program description.

Information for faculty who are already in the UCARE program...

 

If you are already involved in the UCARE Program, there is a Faculty Handbook that should answer most of the questions about how the program works and the responsibilities of a UCARE faculty sponsor.

In addition there is a Timeline with all the important dates for the UCARE academic year.
