197 students to graduate from University Honors Program

One-hundred-ninety-seven 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 Patrice McMahon, director of the Honors Program. “Their completion of the Honors curriculum demonstrates impressive resilience and commitment to academic excellence, and we are proud of all they have accomplished.”
