LINCOLN, NEBRASKA (September 10, 2025) — Kaylynn Huot of Muscatine, Iowa, a fisheries and wildlife major in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, is among a record 739 University of Nebraska-Lincoln students selected to join the University Honors Program this fall. The cohort is 15% larger than the previous record class in 2019.

To be admitted to the Honors Program, students must demonstrate a record of academic excellence, outstanding leadership, involvement in high school, and significant contributions to their community.

"Through their high school achievements, these students have demonstrated a high level of potential, both inside and outside of the classroom," said Tamy Burnett, director of operations for the Honors Program. "We are excited to welcome this outstanding group of scholars and leaders, and we look forward to all that they will accomplish during their time at the university."
