Scholarship
Mortar Board was founded on the three ideals of
scholarship, leadership, and service. Below are highlights of
the chapter's dedication to scholarship.
Dedicating time and talent to promote scholarship within our chapter and among The Kansas State community continues to be a priority for the scholarship team. Each fall, Mortar Board honors K-State faculty, staff and advisors at the annual Faculty Recognition Reception. The 2011 Faculty Reception honorees were:
- Dr. Andrew Barkley, College of Agriculture
- Professor Stefanie Rolley, College of Architecture, Planning & Design
- Dr. Charlie Griffin and Ms. Nancy Habluetzel, College of Arts & Sciences
- Mr. Mardel Maxwell, College of Business Administration
- Ms. Linda Rawdon, College of Education
- Dr. B. Terry Beck, College of Engineering
- Dr. Debra Burnett, College of Human Ecology
- Dr. Bob Shoop, School of Leadership Studies
- Mr. Ben Hopper and Ms. Kristin Waller, Student Life
One of the goals of the scholarship committee is to annually award to juniors demonstrating exemplary scholarship, leadership and service. Mortar Board members review the scholarship applications and interview the finalists. The 2011-2012 scholarship winners are:
