Thirty-two students from the College of Education and Human Sciences will earn their bachelor’s degrees on Saturday, Dec. 21, as graduates with distinction. The students were recognized at a special reception Friday, Dec. 13 in Carolyn Pope Edwards Hall.
All students graduating with distinction from CEHS must meet three criteria: 1) completed at least 60 hours at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln at the time of graduation; 2) satisfactorily completed student teaching (for teaching endorsement programs) or fulfilled practica or other internship experiences as required by their programs of study; and 3) eligibility is based on cumulative GPA of all credit hours taken at UNL prior to beginning the term in which they receive their degrees.
