“It really solidified for me that this is the right career for me, because it’s so rewarding. Helping a child, being a part of their support staff, and seeing them succeed and advance in treatment, it’s like the best feeling ever, and that makes me really excited for the future.” said Elsa Wilcox. 

Wilcox, a Junior Communication Sciences and Disorders Major here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, got a rare internship opportunity at UNMC’s Munroe Meyer Institute Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program. She worked alongside a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, speech pathologists, board certified behavior analysts, registered behavior technicians, and nutritionists gaining experience and insight into her future career goals.

Holly Smith, a Career Services Career Coach, met Wilcox’s UNMC contact at last fall’s Exploring: Human Services, Nonprofit & Social Justice Pathways event. 

This same event is happening again November 9, 2023, from 3:30p-5pm in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room. Learn more about your career options and hear from professionals during a panel, then connect with local organizations who are working in these pathways by browsing their information tables. 

Outside of her internship, Wilcox is involved with UNL’s NSSLHA chapter, or the Nebraska Student Language Hearing association, where she volunteers often for the community of Lincoln. She minors in Education Studies and Gerontology, and is also involved with Greek life on campus, being a proud member of the Chi Omega sorority.
