Congratulations to Dr. Kellas and Dr. Breshears on Recent Awards

Kellas Awarded Arts & Sciences Enhancing Research Excellence Grant

Dr. Jody Koenig Kellas was awarded a UNL College of Arts & Sciences Enhancing Research Excellence Grant for Fall 2012.  These grants are designed to assist faculty members in their research, scholarship, and/or creative endeavors to help them start, move forward, or complete a well-defined research project. The program is aligned with the UNL Chancellor’s ambitious goals of increasing research productivity and external funding for research and scholarly activities.  This is the inaugural year of this program and only four awards were made in the College of Arts & Sciences.
