The Donaldson Award recognizes campus managers in non-faculty positions. The award has been presented since 1972 and honors Donaldson, a University of Nebraska graduate who worked for the university for 43 years. He founded the University Association for Administrative Development in 1961.

The Oldt Award honors a university employee in a managerial/professional position. The award was created in 1992 from a bequest by Oldt, a 1920 University of Nebraska graduate. Oldt, who was a superintendent of Abel Construction Company in Lincoln before moving to Dallas, contributed to many humanitarian and civic organizations.
