Legendary Husker Football Coach, current University of Nebraska Athletic Director and former Congressman Dr. Tom Osborne will provide the keynote address as part of the Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Undergraduate Research Conference at 7 p.m. this Friday, April 13 in the Peru State College Theatre. The event is free and open to the public.
    The Undergraduate Research Conference provides PBL members an opportunity to demonstrate their leadership to see a project through from start to finish.
    Widely known for his leadership, integrity, honor and compassion, Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have poured time and effort into building the TeamMates mentoring program, which provides support and encouragement to school-aged youth with the goal of seeing children graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.
    PBL is a state and national business association. The organization's Undergraduate Research Conference is interdisciplinary and encourages topics from all areas of study. Students can enter their work in four different categories, including paper, poster, presentation and/or Website. Winners in each category will be awarded $500. Those finishing second in each category will receive $100. The theme is Mission Impossible: Overcoming Obstacles in Today’s Society.
