CampusLNK brings together college students and interns from all backgrounds and hometowns to experience the best of Lincoln through engaging events, community connections and opportunities to grow personally and professionally.

Recognizing that place is just as important as opportunity when accepting a job offer, CampusLNK highlights why Lincoln is a great place to live and work. With hundreds of talented young people interning in the city each summer, the program helps ensure that participants' experiences outside of work are just as enriching as their internships. Throughout the summer, CampusLNK offers a variety of networking opportunities and events designed to help participants build meaningful relationships with fellow interns and professionals from across Lincoln. Best of all, every event is completely free to attend.

In addition, participants receive a weekly newsletter featuring upcoming events, program reminders, important updates, and a curated list of nine unique things to do in and around Lincoln outside of work. The newsletter encourages interns to explore the community and take full advantage of everything the city has to offer during the summer.

During the summer of 2026 CampusLNK features five signature events, including two social networking events and three professional development coffee series events. The program has experienced strong engagement from both students and employers this summer, with over 500 interns and college students participating from 36 Lincoln employers.
