Seven SNR faculty and staff members received certificates thanking them for their outstanding contributions to students' educational experiences. Certificates were presented at a Feb. 3 reception hosted by the UNL Teaching Council. In November the UNL Parents Association asked parents of students to consult with their sons and daughters to nominate faculty who have made "significant contributions to their lives while at UNL."
