Sixteen graduating seniors, including two computer science students, have earned awards from the University Honors Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The students, all May graduates, were selected from among 200-plus Honors graduates during the 2024-25 academic year.
The Honors Program collaborates each year with Nebraska’s undergraduate colleges to recognize an Outstanding Honors Graduate from each college. The eight students who earned this award were selected based on their contributions to, and involvement with, both the Honors Program and their respective colleges. Computer science major Zachary Kozak was named Outstanding Honors Graduate in the College of Engineering.
Four students were also recognized for outstanding leadership within one of the Honors Program’s registered student organizations: Honors Ambassadors, Honors Program Student Advisory Board and Honors Peer Mentoring.
Finally, three students were recognized with the Honors Resilience Award, which acknowledges Honors graduates who have persisted and grown through adversity during their time at Nebraska to achieve at a high level both personally and academically. Computer science major Connor Nichols received the Honors Resilience Award.
