MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's Andrea VonFeldt, a senior in communication sciences and disorders, Wamego, is the National Society of Collegiate Scholars' Scholar of the Week for Sept. 7-11.

A brief bio about VonFeldt is being featured on the society's Web site, http://www.nscs.org/

VonFeldt was initiated into the society in fall 2008. Members must have a grade point average of 3.4 or above and rank in the top 20 percent of their class.
