CEHS faculty and staff honored by UNL Parents Association

10 Feb 2017     By University Communications

Congratulations to 18 faculty and staff members of CEHS who were recognized Feb. 3 at the Parents' Recognition Awards in the Nebraska Union. The awards are earned through nominations made from parents of Nebraska students. Presented annually, the honors provide positive feedback to faculty and staff about their work with students.

The UNL Parents Association solicits nominations through an annual mailing, asking parents to nominate a faculty or staff employee who has made a significant difference in their student’s life. Nominations include a short explanation of why this person was nominated.

This is the 29th year Nebraska faculty and staff have received the awards from the parents association. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of years a recipient has received the award. If no number is listed, the award is a first-time honor.
