MANHATTAN – Audrey Ladenburger, a December 2006 bachelor's candidate in accounting, Pratt, is the College of Business Administration's Fall 2006 Outstanding Senior in Business at Kansas State University.

Ladenburger will be recognized at the college's commencement ceremony at noon Saturday, Dec. 9, in Bramlage Coliseum. The Outstanding Senior in Business Award is presented each semester to a graduating senior who has made outstanding contributions to the College of Business Administration. A student committee composed of representatives from the Dean's Student Advisory Council selects the award recipient.

Ladenburger, who was named to the National Dean's List and Who's Who Among College Students, has served in leadership positions in numerous campus and community organizations, including as the vice president of Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honorary society. She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

"Audrey has been a leader in K-State's College of Business Administration since her freshman year," said Yar Ebadi, dean of the college. "She has been a mentor and guide to her peers, directly contributing to the quality of student life in the college."

Following her graduation from K-State, Ladenburger will enroll in the master of accountancy program at K-State. After completing the program, she plans to take the Certified Public Accountant exam. She also will serve a second internship with Koch Industries in summer 2007. Ladenburger is the daughter of Kenton and Diane Ladenburger, Pratt, and a 2003 graduate of Pratt High School.
