Congratulations to Loandi Cruz who is the first recipient of the Amarinys Liriano Contreras Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship was endowed by generous donations from Dr. Contreras (her widower) and members of her family. Amarinys was a UNO alumna who died after a tragic car accident. We were honored that these members of her family were able to be here to take a picture with her at UNO College of Sciences Honors Day.
