LAWRENCE - The names of more than 3,700 students from the University of Kansas who were named to KU's honor roll during the spring 2000 semester were announced recently by Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
"I congratulate our honor roll students. Being named to the honor roll is an accomplishment that reflects a commitment to excellence typical of KU students," Hemenway said.
The students are from KU's Lawrence campus and the schools of Allied Health and Nursing at the Kansas City, Kan., campus.
The honor roll comprises undergraduates who meet requirements in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and in the schools of Allied Health, Architecture and Urban Design, Business, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Nursing, and the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. The School of Social Welfare does not compile an honor roll.
Honor roll criteria vary among the academic units of the university. Some schools honor the top 10 percent of students enrolled, some establish a minimum grade-point average, and others raise the minimum for each year students are in school. Students must complete a minimum number of credit hours to be considered for the honor roll.
About 69 percent of KU's 27,625 students are undergraduates.
The full list of students on the honor roll, by county (in Kansas), state (outside of Kansas), or country is available online at http://www.ku.edu/~kunews/2000/00N/JulyNews/July5/list.html.
There are no students listed for this release from the following counties: Chautauqua, Comanche, Gove, Greeley, Lane and Woodson.
The list includes names of area students honored, their school or department, their parents' or guardians' names and their home addresses. For students enrolled in the School of Allied Health, a level in school is not always given, but the level is listed for those in other schools.
