The National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) at the University of Nebraska (NU) has welcomed five ROTC cadets as strategic deterrence interns.
The cadets join six NU students to contribute their skills and experience to projects within the mission space of U.S. Strategic Command, which sponsors NSRI as a University Affiliated Research Center. NSRI launched the joint aspect of the internship experience in 2020.
"Military, government, academia and commercial entities working together is going to be our country's best path forward to success," said Chris Luther, NSRI senior operations analyst. "Bringing ROTC cadets from around the country together with our NU undergraduate and graduate students not only actualizes this vision but leads it.
"While researching a complex problem relevant to the Department of Defense, the cadets and their NU counterparts learn to recognize the unique value each brings and creates working relationships that last for years to come."
Representing both U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, the cadets hail from five universities and bring forward multiple disciplines to an already interdisciplinary team of interns.
