Fourteen graduating seniors have earned awards from the University Honors Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The students were selected from among 200-plus Honors graduates during the 2023-24 academic year.
The Honors Program collaborated with Nebraska’s undergraduate colleges to recognize an Outstanding Honors Graduate from each college. The nine students who earned this award were selected based on their contributions to, and involvement with, both the Honors Program and their respective colleges.
Marissa Kraus of Columbia, Missouri, who studied journalism while at Nebraska, was the May 2024 CoJMC Outstanding Honors Graduate.
Throughout Kraus’s four years at UNL, she was involved in a number of organizations and programs on campus including the Daily Nebraskan, the Student Alumni Association Board of Directors, CoJMC Ambassadors and Student Advisory Board and the Honors Program Student Advisory Board.
After graduation Kraus will move to Los Angeles, California to start her first post-grad role as a sports reporting intern with the LA Times. Read more about her time at UNL here: https://journalism.unl.edu/news/graduation-spotlight-marissa-kraus.
