Undergraduate Organizations

 

The Department sponsors an Undergraduate Sociology Association for students to meet each other and learn more about sociology. Membership is open to all sociology majors and minors. The Association sponsors speakers from government agencies, private employers, other universities, and the community. Speakers' topics in the recent past have included career opportunities, job interviewing techniques, internships, and applying to graduate school. One important function of the Association is participating in and periodically hosting the annual Nebraska Undergraduate Sociology Symposium. The Symposium brings students together from all of the state colleges and universities to present papers, participate in roundtable discussions and to meet and hear talks by eminent sociologists.
