KU to honor 164 seniors from Wyandotte County high schools
More Information
LAWRENCE — Students from nine Kansas high schools will be honored Tuesday, Nov. 16, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.
A total of 164 seniors from high schools in Wyandotte County will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 7 p.m. program and reception at KU Medical Center, Battenfeld Auditorium, Francisco Lounge, 1003 Student Center, 3901 Rainbow Blvd., Kansas City, Kan.
The Kansas Honors Program celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Since 1971, the program has recognized 114,000 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 41 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state.
During the ceremony, each student will receive an American Heritage Dictionary, in both hardback and electronic versions, presented by Michelle Miles, assistant director of Kansas programs for the KU Alumni Association.
John Gaunt, dean of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, will speak to the students and their parents and guests.
Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Chris Schneider and Stephanie Parker, both of Kansas City, are program coordinators.
The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program.
