KU to honor 340 seniors from Sedgwick county high schools
LAWRENCE — Students from 13 Kansas high schools will be honored Monday, Nov. 3, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.
A total of 340 seniors from high schools in Sedgwick County will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 7 p.m. program and reception at the Wichita State University, Eugene M. Hughes Metro Complex, 5015 E. 29th St. North, Wichita.
Since 1971, the Kansas Honors Program has recognized over 125,000 scholars who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of occupational plans or higher-education goals. Each year, the KU Alumni Association and its volunteers host 36 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state and include approximately 360 high schools.
During the ceremony, each student will receive a Webster’s New College Dictionary and a commemorative certificate.
Neeli Bendapudi, dean of business at the University of Kansas, will speak to the students and their parents and guests.
Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Judge Robert Nugent, Camille Bribiesca Nyberg and Teresa Veazey, of Wichita, are the program coordinators.
The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program. The Class of 2015 scholars:
