14 students to graduate from University Honors Program

Fourteen graduating seniors have completed the requirements of the University Honors Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

To graduate from the Honors Program, students must maintain at least a 3.5 grade-point average, complete a culminating senior project or research thesis, and fulfill other curricular requirements.

“The majority of these graduates were among the first cohort to enter college during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Tamy Burnett, director of operations for the Honors Program. “Their completion of the Honors curriculum demonstrates impressive resilience and commitment to academic excellence.”

The 14 students join 200 classmates who graduated from the Honors Program in May and August and an alumni network spanning the program’s 38-year history.
