30 students named to Franco's List for character, integrity

Thirty University of Nebraska-Lincoln students were recognized last month as outstanding agents of character and integrity by being named to Franco’s List.

Students who attain the highest level of academic achievement are recognized by their academic dean through the Dean’s List. Similarly, Franco’s List – named after Juan Franco, the university’s vice chancellor for student affairs – recognizes students at Nebraska who demonstrate characteristics essential to being a person of integrity.

Franco’s List awardees represent six building blocks of character: caring, citizenship, commitment, dependability, open-mindedness and respect.

All of the recipients were nominated by a university community member and were ultimately selected by a council of their peers, the vice chancellor for student affairs’ Character Council.

Recipients were announced at an awards ceremony April 19.
