Aman, Bohn receive Family and Friends Recognition Awards

For their continued and outstanding support of students, several University of Nebraska–Lincoln employees were honored with Family and Friends Recognition Awards during a celebration on March 6.

The Family and Friends Recognition Awards (formerly known as the Parents' Recognition Awards) annually recognizes faculty and staff who have made a significant difference in students' lives.

Two School of Computing faculty members were honored with awards this year. Assistant Professor Muhammad Naveed Aman and Associate Professor of Practice Chris Bohn both received Certificates of Recognition for Contributions to Students.

Each year the Parents Association solicits nominations asking parents, family, and friends to nominate a faculty or staff member. Nominations include a short explanation of why each person was nominated.
Nominations are shared anonymously with each recipient and all recipients receive a certificate. The honors provide encouraging feedback to employees about their impact on students, while inspiring positive student and faculty relationships, giving recognition in an area often overlooked by formal rewards systems.

The annual recognition ceremony was organized by the Office of Student Affairs and co-sponsored by the Teaching Council and the Parents Association. This is the 37th year Nebraska faculty and staff have been honored with awards.
