6 CEHS faculty, staff receive family and friends recognition awards

08 Mar 2023    

For their support of students, six College of Education and Human Sciences faculty and staff members received University of Nebraska–Lincoln Family and Friends Recognition Awards during a March 2 celebration. The award recognizes employees who have made a significant difference in students’ lives. 

All nominations are submitted by parents, family and friends of students who include a short explanation of why the person was nominated. The nomination is anonymously shared with each recipient and all recipients receive a certificate. The honors provide encouraging feedback to employees about their impact on students, while inspiring positive student and faculty relationships, giving recognition in an area often overlooked by formal rewards systems.

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 35th year Nebraska faculty and staff have received this award.

The 2022 - 2023 recipients are listed below.
