Kevin McGuire, MLS assistant professor and chemistry coordinator, received the Shirley Noble Award. This award was established to recognize an American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science – Nebraska (ASCLS-NE) member who actively promotes the laboratory profession. Recipients must have acted as a positive role model and mentor to members of the society or to MLS/MLT students just as its namesake Shirley Noble did.
Karen Honeycutt, PhD, MLS program director and associate professor, received the Filter Award. This award goes to an outstanding ASCLS-NE member who has made a significant contribution to their society.
