The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Alumni Association provides 12 professorships, which have totaled nearly $1.2 million since they were instutited in 1983 during UNO’s Diamond Jubilee celebration.
The professorships recognize distinguished faculty performance in teaching and research, and were named in honor of longtime faculty members who served with distinction in their respective academic areas. Each professorship has a three-year term.
This year, the association awarded three new professorships:
- Jennifer Riley – UNO College of Business Administration
- Hugh Reilly — UNO College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media (School of Communication)
- William Mahoney — UNO College of Information Science & Technology
