Nebraska Lecture nominations due March 1

The UNL Research Council is soliciting nominations for faculty to present Nebraska Lectures in 2013 or 2014. Nominations are due March 1.

The Nebraska Lectures: Chancellor's Distinguished Lecture Series features high profile presentations by distinguished UNL faculty. Lectures are designed for general audiences to provide insights about some of the university’s leading research, scholarship and creative activities. Selection to give a lecture is the highest recognition the Research Council bestows on an individual faculty member.

All nominees should have a major recent accomplishment that supports a distinguished record and be able to communicate to an interdisciplinary audience. Nominees should also be nationally or internationally prominent in their fields.

Nominations are due by 5 p.m. March 1 and must be submitted via email to Mari Greer at mgreer1@unl.edu. Nominations should include a nomination letter and the nominee's CV, including significant scholarly accomplishments with emphasis on the last five years.
