Robert Schmidt of Yankton, S.D. named to 'Franco's List

2015 Nov 19

Robert Schmidt of Yankton, S.D. was among 29 University of Nebraska-Lincoln students recognized earlier this month as outstanding agents of character and integrity by being named to "Franco's List."

Schmidt is a senior English, political science and Spanish major in the College of Arts and Sciences.

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, UNL vice chancellor for student affairs) recognizes UNL students identified as demonstrating the positive characteristics that are part of being a person of integrity.

Selection to Franco's List is awarded for each student's commitment to living a life of integrity in accordance with the "Show Your Red" movement and its six building blocks: citizenship, dependability, commitment, respect, open-mindedness and care.

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