Each year, a retired faculty or staff member is recognized by the association with the Doc Elliott Award. Please be aware of the following guidelines:
-
The fact that an individual has previously received an alumni association award in another category does not preclude him/her from receiving this award.
-
The awards committee will accept nominations from any alumnus, friend or alumni affiliate organization of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
-
The awards committee retains and considers nominations for three years or until selected.
-
The deadline for submitting nominations is November 1 of each year.
Established in 1986 to honor a retired University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty or staff member who has exhibited a record of exemplary, extraordinary and sustained service to students and alumni over a period of years, enriching the lives of alumni. The Doc Elliott Award is presented annually at the NU Honors Convocation to no more than one faculty or staff member whose caring has made a difference in the lives of alumni and who has gone beyond traditional expectations. Recipients must be former faculty or staff members of UNL who have been retired at least five years. If a recipient is deceased, a representative of the family may accept the award.
