Students who attain the highest level of academic achievement are recognized by their academic dean through the Dean's List. Similarly, Franco's List — named for the late Juan Franco, vice chancellor for student affairs from 2006-2017 — recognizes students at Nebraska who demonstrate characteristics essential to being a person of integrity.

Franco's List awardees represent six building blocks of character: caring, citizenship, commitment, dependability, open-mindedness and respect.

All recipients were nominated by a university community member and selected by a council of peers, the vice chancellor for student affairs' Character Council.

Recipients were announced at an awards ceremony April 19.
