The UNL Parents Association Award has been in place for twenty-seven years. The Parents Association solicits nominations through an annual mailing, asking parents to nominate a faculty or staff employee who has made a significant difference in their student’s life. Nominations include a short explanation of why the person was nominated. The awards provide positive feedback to campus faculty and staff about the work they do with students.
