Eight graduating seniors from the College of Arts and Sciences have earned awards from the University Honors Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

The Outstanding Honors Leadership Award recognizes an honors graduate who has made the most significant and lasting impact to the Honors Program through their leadership.

The Honors Program collaborated with Nebraska’s eight undergraduate colleges to recognize an Outstanding Honors Graduate from each college. Students were selected based on their contributions to, and involvement with, both the Honors Program and their respective colleges.

Finally, the Honors Resilience Award acknowledges Honors Program graduates who have persisted and grown through adversity during their time at Nebraska to achieve at a high level personally and academically.
