K-STATE'S DIVISION OF BIOLOGY HONORS EIGHT STUDENTS

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's Division of Biology is recognizing eight students for their outstanding academic performances and contributions to the division.

At a May 3 ceremony, seven students received Most Promising Student awards, given to undergraduates in biology based on their academic performance, involvement in activities, letters of recommendation and an interview by a faculty panel. The awards are funded solely by faculty contributions.

The Division of Biology also gave an H.H. Haymaker Award for Excellence. The award recognizes an outstanding senior majoring in biology, fisheries and wildlife biology or microbiology who possesses a high level of accomplishment as an undergraduate and the promise to continue such performance in a biological sciences career. The award is named for Herbert Henley Haymaker, a faculty member at K-State from 1917 to 1963.

Students earning honors from K-State's Division of Biology include:

Nathan Harms, senior in biology, Derby, Most Promising Student Award; Jenna Kennedy, senior in microbiology, Hoxie, H.H. Haymaker Award for Excellence; Thomas Prebyl, senior in biology, Oketo, Most Promising Student Award; Ryan Gallagher, sophomore in microbiology, and Aleece Preston, senior in biology, both of Olathe and both Most Promising Student awards; Hailey Petersen, junior in microbiology, Overland Park, Most Promising Student Award; Diana Hylton, junior in nutritional sciences and microbiology, Tecumseh, Most Promising Student Award.
