Lisa Kastello, UNK assistant professor of art and art history, was named the Nebraska Outstanding Art Educator of the Year.

UNK’s John Fronczak, senior lecturer of art and art history, was recognized with the Prism Award, given for service by non-art educators.

Stephanie Baer, who formerly taught in the Master of Arts in Education program, received the award for Higher Education Art Educator of the Year. Baer now teaches at Miami University of Ohio.
