More than 1,900 University of Nebraska-Lincoln students were honored during individual college celebrations and the All-University Honors Convocation April 23 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. Twenty-two were from the School of Natural Resources.
Students were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements. Honorees included:
- Chancellor's Scholars: students who graduated in December or who will receive their degrees in May or August and have maintained 4.0 grade-point averages on all collegiate work at Nebraska and elsewhere;
- Superior Scholars: seniors graduating in the 2016-2017 academic year who are in the top 3 percent of their college's senior class or 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.
