Each year, the Loper Programming and Activities Council (LPAC) organizes a spring concert featuring the biggest names from country, rock and pop music – from The All-American Rejects and Secondhand Serenade to Kellie Pickler and Cole Swindell.
The annual concert, held inside UNK’s Health and Sports Center, is one of the most popular campus events for students and community members alike.
The Outstanding Family Award is given based on what the student most admires about his/her family, and how family members have encouraged the student’s education and had an impact on the student’s academic and personal life.
Any UNK student can nominate their family for the Outstanding Family Award and have a chance to win some great prizes, as well as meet the chancellor while watching the UNK football game in the Nebraskan Student Union skybox suite.
