Students Too Can Be Members Of Who’s Who Organization

Filed under:

Friday, April 01, 2005

Eastern students have the opportunity today to be recognized for being campus leaders.

Applications are due today for inclusion in the book 2004-2005 Whos Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.

To qualify, a student must have completed 60 or more credit hours, have a 3.0 or better GPA and be nominated by an Eastern administrator, faculty or staff member.

Each year, Eastern joins more than 2,300 institutions of higher learning across the country in nominating those upperclassmen whose academic standing, participation in extracurricular activities and community service are decidedly above average, said Student Life Director Ceci Brinker.

Between 30 and 40 Eastern students apply each year on average. Those selected by the Student Life Office receive a congratulatory letter, a certificate and recognition in the book.

The national Whos Who program was created in 1934 to further the aims of higher education by rewarding and recognizing individual academic excellence on a national level, its motto says.

Applications are available and can be returned to the Student Life Office in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
