Wishart Recognized for Contributions to Students For the sixth time during his teaching career at UNL, Dr. David Wishart has been nominated by one or more of his students to receive a "Certificate of Recognition for Contributions to Students", which will be awarded on February 3, 2012 during a reception hosted by the UNL Teaching Council. In November the UNL Parents Association solicited parents of students to consult with their sons and daughters to nominate faculty who have made "significant contributions to their lives while at UNL." For more information see the UNL Parents Association webpage.
