The Board of Regents is pleased to present a KUDOS award to Karez Hassan, Academic Advisor in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
Karez has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to student success and institutional excellence.
Her nominators said, “She has been a cornerstone in helping incoming freshmen acclimate to UNL. Her mentorship and leadership have been a beacon for them as they transition to college life. With her deep knowledge, boundless enthusiasm, and compassionate approach, Karez has been a vital support.
