UNL students honored for academic achievement

University of Nebraska-Lincoln undergraduate students will be honored in conjunction with UNL's All-University Honors Convocation April 6 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts.

Students are recognized at Honors Convocation for their cumulative academic achievements (as opposed to Dean's List, which is for one semester). Honorees include:

* Chancellor's Scholars, students who will receive their degrees in May or August and have maintained 4.0 grade-point averages on all collegiate work at UNL and elsewhere;

* Superior Scholars, seniors graduating in the 2007-08 academic year who have been recognized at Honors Convocation each year of their enrollment;

* High Scholars, students other than Chancellor's Scholars and Superior Scholars who are in the top 10 percent of their class.
