Nebraska On Wheels-2010
It was another successful year for the Nebraska On Wheels bus tour sponsored by NACRAO and EducationQuest Foundation. It was the 6th annual N.O.W. Tour, beginning the second five-year cycle of the Nebraska On Wheels tour event. This year's tour lasted three days, June 14 -16, and covered the Lincoln Region. Institutions visited included BryanLGH College of Health Sciences-Lincoln, Doane College-Crete, EducationQuest Foundation-Lincoln, Nebraska Wesleyan University-Lincoln, Southeast Community College-Beatrice, Southeast Community College-Lincoln, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Twenty-two high school counselors and seven N.O.W. committee members/co-sponsor representatives participated. The tour was informative, fun, and kept everyone engaged from early morning to night learning about Nebraska's post-secondary schools and programs.
The counselor tour evaluations say there is no better way to learn about an institution than to visit, tour and learn firsthand from the college experts themselves. The N.O.W. Tour provides the opportunity to see college campuses, facilities and learn about programs that help these counselors assist their students. Counselors say additional highlights of taking the tour are the contacts they make and the colleagues they meet which are invaluable to their profession. Many of these counselors have participated in all six N.O.W. tours in the five-region cycle, and promise to attend next year commenting that they wouldn't miss it! Nebraska On Wheels is always held the third week in June.
