Eleven faculty from the College of Engineering were among the more than 190 UNL employees honored Jan. 29 with the Parents Recognition Award from the UNL Parents Association.
The awards, presented during a Jan. 29 ceremony, are earned through nominations made from parents of UNL students. Presented annually, the honors provide positive feedback to faculty and staff about their work with students. They also encourage good student and faculty relationships and provide recognition in an area often overlooked in the formal rewards system.
The UNL 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 this person was nominated.
All who were nominated by at least one parent or student and who are still with the university received a certificate. The annual recognition ceremony was organized by the Division of Student Affairs and co-sponsored by the UNL Teaching Council and UNL Parents Association. Certificates of recognition for contributions to students were given during the ceremony. Honorees from the College of Engineering are (with number of years a recipient has received the award in parentheses if it is two or more):
Architectural Engineering and Construction — Bruce Fischer (5); Wayne Jensen (3)
Civil Engineering — Joshua Steelman
Computer Science and Engineering — Donald Costello; Charles Riedesel (8); Stephen Scott; Mehmet Can Vuran
Electrical and Computer Engineering — Michael Hoffman (3); Jerry Hudgins (3)
Mechanical and Materials Engineering — Eveline Baesu; Kevin Cole (4)
