UNO Honors Program Newsletter Wins National Award

Last November the UNO Honors program newsletter, The Distinction, won second place in the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) annual publications contest.

Selected from competing publications submitted by institutions nationally, UNO's newsletter was celebrated at the NCHC annual conference in Kansas City, with Honors Director Dr. Lucy Morrison collecting the award there. The award-winning spring 2024 edition of The Distinction was put together by Honors student Olivia McArthur. She worked throughout each semester to gather stories demonstrating the range and engagements of students in the program, exploring successful internships and original theses alongside class endeavors and extracurricular engagements. Honors GA Emily Fuller provided much support too.

Since signing on to be editor of The Distinction, Olivia has assembled a journalistic team of other Honors students, Summer Dingman, Tanatswa Chivero, Hana Miller, and Rory Vargas, all of whom work together to write, edit, and publish the once-a-semester newsletter. Its creation requires students to use their critical interviewing skills, develop their journalistic writing abilities, and become fastidious editors. With all the hard work of this small but mighty team, The Distinction is moving from strength to strength as it works to showcase the amazing accomplishments of UNO Honors students. Honors is proud to have several plaques on the wall (2017, 2019, 2022, and 2024) from the NCHC, recognizing the excellence of Honors students' work.

Newsletters come out at least once a semester, and we are always looking for interesting pieces. Become a published author by sharing your impressions of a class, internship experience, or opinions! Students are invited to share their stories and activities with us, and we are happy to share them out widely. Read the most recent Honors Program Newsletter.
