Maurice Godfrey, Ph.D., a professor in the Munroe-Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, is the principal investigator on the grant.<\/p>\n<p>During the four-day camp, the students took part in numerous hands-on activities that included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dissecting sheep brains;<\/li>\n<li>Playing soccer with the members of the Creighton men&rsquo;s soccer team;<\/li>\n<li>Touring the Center for Nursing Sciences simulation center at UNMC where they listened to heart and lung sounds on mannequins;<\/li>\n<li>Visited the UNMC Mind &amp; Brain Health Labs where they tested their driving skills on simulators; and<\/li>\n<li>Got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Walter &amp; Suzanne Scott Aquarium at the Henry Doorly Zoo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The students also heard from several Native American speakers, including Ramona Zephier, a physician assistant and member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, who told the students &#8220;you too can dream big and achieve your goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This camp really opens your eyes to the possibilities in life,&#8221; said Moses Renville, a rising senior at Tiospa Zina Tribal School on the Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota Sioux reservation in South Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&rsquo;s a great opportunity that shows the kids that even though a lot of bad stuff happens on the reservation, not everything is bad and if you stay in school and work hard you can do some pretty great things,&#8221; Renville said.<\/p>\n<p>Erica Jensen, a kindergarten teacher with St. Augustine Indian Mission on the Winnebago Indian Reservation in northeastern Nebraska agrees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The camp has given the kids a chance to explore careers in chemistry, genetics and neuroscience &#8211; things they never would be exposed to on the reservation,&#8221; Jensen said.<\/p>\n<p><em>We are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nebraskamed.com\/\">Nebraska Medicine<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/\">UNMC<\/a>.
