21 CEHS faculty, staff receive Parents’ Recognition Awards
11 Mar 2020
Twenty-one employees from the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln were honored for their support to students during the annual Parents’ Recognition Awards March 6.
The awards, presented in a ceremony at the Willa Cather Dining Complex, were earned through nominations made by parents of Nebraska students. The honors provide positive feedback to faculty and staff about their work and relationships with students, giving recognition in an area often overlooked in the formal rewards system.
The Parents Association solicits nominations through an annual mailing, asking parents to nominate a faculty or staff member who has made a significant difference in their student’s life. Nominations include a short explanation of why the employee was selected.
All who were nominated by at least one parent or student and who are still with the university received a certificate. The annual recognition ceremony was organized by the Office of Student Affairs and co-sponsored by the Teaching Council and the Parents Association. This is the 32nd year Nebraska faculty and staff have received awards from the Parents Association.
The 2019 – 2020 recipients are listed below. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of years a recipient has received the award.
