The Chancellor’s Commission on the Status of Women (CCSW) seeks nominations for its Outstanding Achievement Award and Student Scholarship Award. The Outstanding Achievement Award recognizes individuals from UNO who have brought attention to women’s issues, advanced women’s issues and/or gender equity issues.

CCSW will also honor a student scholarship award winner. To apply, UNO students must meet the following qualifications: be an undergraduate who will graduate after fall 2015 and the student must show significant contributions towards: 1) addressing and improving the status of women or gender issues at UNO in their academic work or activities and/or 2) have academic excellence in fields where women are underrepresented.

This year’s recipients will be honored Thursday, March 10, at the CCSW Awards Luncheon at 11:30 a.m. in the Thompson Alumni Center. Tickets will go on sale at the MBSC Business Office closer to the date.
