Libby Gentry of Leawood named to Franco's List at Nebraska

2017 May 17

Libby Gentry of Leawood was among 30 University of Nebraska-Lincoln students recognized last month as outstanding agents of character and integrity by being named to Franco's List.

Gentry was a junior computer science and management major during the spring semester.

Students who attain the highest level of academic achievement are recognized by their academic dean through the Dean's List. Similarly, Franco's List - named after Juan Franco, the university's vice chancellor for student affairs - recognizes students at Nebraska who demonstrate characteristics essential to being a person of integrity.

Franco's List awardees represent six building blocks of character: caring, citizenship, commitment, dependability, open-mindedness and respect.

All of the recipients were nominated by a university community member and were ultimately selected by a council of their peers, the vice chancellor for student affairs' Character Council.

Recipients were announced at an awards ceremony April 19.
