Three faculty members from the Department of Classics and Religious Studies were among the 226 faculty and staff who received Parents' Recognition Awards at a ceremony on February 3, 2017. Professor Yaroslav Komarovski received the award for the first time, while Professors Michael Lippman and Matthew Loar each received the award for the second time.

"The Parents' Recognition Awards, presented during a Feb. 3 ceremony in the Nebraska Union, are earned through nominations made from parents of Nebraska students. Presented annually, the honors provide positive feedback to faculty and staff about their work with students. They also encourage good student and faculty relationships and provide recognition in an area often overlooked in the formal rewards system.

The Parents Association solicits nominations through an annual mailing, asking parents to nominate a faculty or staff employee who has made a significant difference in their student’s life. Nominations include a short explanation of why this person was nominated.

All who were nominated by at least one parent or student and who are still with the university received a certificate. The annual recognition ceremony was organized by the Division of Student Affairs and co-sponsored by the teaching council and parents association. Certificates of recognition for contributions to students were given during the ceremony. This is the 29th year Nebraska faculty and staff have received the awards from the parents association."
