For their support of students, eight University of Nebraska–Lincoln employees are receiving Family and Friends Recognition Awards during a March 7 celebration.
The award recognize faculty and staff 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 this person was nominated. The nomination is anonymously shared with each recipient and all recipients receive a certificate.
