KU to honor 84 high school seniors from four Kansas counties Oct. 3 in Salina

LAWRENCE — Students from 12 Kansas high schools will be honored Wednesday, Oct. 3, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 84 seniors from high schools in Ellsworth, Lincoln, Ottawa and Saline counties will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 6:30 p.m. dinner program at the Salina Country Club, 2101 E. Country Club Rd.

The Kansas Honors Program began in 1971 and has honored more than 100,000 students. Scholars rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of curricula, majors, occupational plans or higher-education goals. Honorees’ names are listed below.

During the ceremony, each student will receive an American Heritage Dictionary in hardback and CD versions, presented by Mike Davis, senior vice president for alumni programs for the KU Alumni Association.

Marlesa Roney, vice provost for Student Success, will speak to the students and their parents and guests.

Honored students will be guests of the alumni association and KU Endowment; parents and area alumni are welcome to attend at a cost of $15 each.

Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Pat Thompson of Salina and Pam Barker of Minneapolis will be the site coordinators. County coordinators are Dr. G. Derril Gwinner of Ellsworth for Ellsworth County; Bob and Sharron Hamilton of Salina for Lincoln County; and Jim and Joyce Trower of Salina for Saline County.

The Kansas Honors Program is made possible through KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program.
