The Nebraska Alumni Association will recognize its 2004 Distinguished Service Award winner May 8 during spring commencement exercises at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. This year's recipient is Art Mastera of Aurora, Colo.
The Distinguished Service Award honors individuals with exemplary records of service to the Nebraska Alumni Association and the university.
Mastera, 1966 and 1972 NU graduate, has been an active member of the Coloradans for Nebraska for more than 20 years. He has edited the CFN newsletter for many years and also produces the chapter's electronic newsletter. A former co-president of the group, he has helped with CFN activities such as Scarlet and Cream Singers concerts and home stays, TV watch parties, Valentino's pizza parties, Founder's Day events and summer picnics. Mastera also volunteers for the university's new student recruitment efforts in Colorado and has spoken at numerous Summer Send-offs and UNL Admissions Office-sponsored events.
From 1989 to 1993, Mastera lived in Connecticut, where he helped organize a still-thriving alumni chapter.
