Conner Tyerman of Imperial joins Integrity in Business Leadership program at Nebraska

Conner Tyerman of Imperial, a business and law major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is among 34 first-year students selected to join the award-winning Integrity in Business Leadership program in the College of Business.
 Tyerman has received a $3,000 scholarship and the opportunity to develop as a principled and community-minded leader through mentoring, coursework and hands-on business experiences.
 “The IBL program creates a deeply connected community that these students can leverage for years to come,” said Rose Hull, associate director of the Teaching and Learning Center, who helps coordinate the program. “Kicking off their college career alongside other passionate and determined peers provides a great foundation for continued learning.”
 Throughout their first year at Nebraska, the students take part in consulting projects with local businesses, peer mentoring, team-building activities and case competitions. Starting this year, the program expanded to include a new sophomore course focused on career readiness, helping students secure internships earlier in their college careers through job shadowing, employer connections and career coaching.
 The program received the MidAmerican Business Deans Association’s Innovation in Business Education Award for Student Engagement in 2023.
 “Our program’s strength comes from consistent growth and support that sets up students for success,” Hull said. “Through unique networking opportunities, elevated class projects and valuable mentoring from upperclassmen, this network of individuals is prepared to enter the working world and lead with integrity.”
 Applications for fall 2026 are available at https://business.unl.edu/leaders. The priority deadline is Feb. 1, with a final deadline of March 1.
