a Best Outstanding Paper by a Young Presenter Award from the Acoustical Society of America
(ASA) Technical Committee on Noise.
Alumni News: Construction management alumni Mark Behning and Alex Henery were inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in September 2019.
Henery ended his four-year career at Nebraska as one of the most accurate kickers in college
football history. He connected on an NCAA-record 88.9 percent (68 of 76) field goal attempts
from 2007-10 and was good on 193 of 194 career point- after-touchdown tries. Behning was a
starter at left tackle from 1982-84 and was first-team All-Big Eight selection in 1984.
