Association Names Seniors of Significance


The Oklahoma State University Alumni Association has named 41 students as OSU Seniors of Significance for the 2010-2011 academic year.

The Seniors of Significance Award recognizes students who have excelled in scholarship, leadership and service to campus and community and have brought distinction to OSU.

“This group represents approximately one percent of the senior class and OSU’s best with their involvement in numerous service and leadership organizations,” says Larry Shell, OSU Alumni Association president. “We are honored to recognize them for their achievements and support them as they prepare to join the OSU alumni family.”

A public reception to recognize the winners and their families will be held on December 2 at 5:30 p.m. at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center.
