While summer is often described as the "slow time" of the year on campus, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln community is humming with quiet activity.

Many Huskers are out exploring the world, earning hands-on experience through jobs, internships, research projects and study abroad opportunities. On campus, classes remain in session, faculty and staff are prepping for the fall, thousands of first-year students are participating in New Student Enrollment, and thousands more are taking part in the myriad of summer conferences hosted by the university.

The pace may be gentler on campus, but the spirit of inquiry and progress persists. Nebraska Today reached out to the campus community to highlight the numbers behind the university's vibrant summer activity.
