Five University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty have collected the University of Nebraska system’s most esteemed honors for research, creative activity, teaching and engagement.

Those earning the President’s Excellence Awards are Robert Brooke, Judy Diamond, Vanessa Gorman, Jordan Stump and Mark Svoboda.

Announced April 6, the awards recognize faculty across the NU system whose work has had a strong impact on students, university and state.

“Faculty are part of the lifeblood of any great university and the University of Nebraska system is fortunate to have some of the world’s best serving across our four campuses,” said Ted Carter, president of the NU system. “The teaching, research and outreach that these faculty do on a daily basis has a transformational impact on students, our communities, and economic growth and prosperity in Nebraska and beyond.

“It’s an honor to lift up and celebrate their work.”
