Top Twenty Freshman Men and Women selected

Friday, September 24, 2010

Forty Oklahoma State University students have been named Top Twenty Freshman Men and Women for 2010.

The selection of students, who are now in their sophomore year at OSU, is based upon scholastic achievement, leadership and participation in campus activities, service and awareness of the student’s role at the university. The honor is to recognize and encourage leadership among freshmen.

Students will continue through the interview process from which Mortar Board will select the Top Ten Freshman Men and Woman.
“We had an exceptional pool of students for the Top Twenty Freshmen this year, and it will be very difficult to choose the Top Ten Freshman Men and Top Ten Freshman Women this year,” said Andrew Henry, Mortar Board officer and a Fort Towson senior majoring in economics.
The Top Ten Freshman Men and Women will be formally recognized, along with their families, during a ceremony on Sept. 18 in the Willard Living Room on the OSU campus, and at the OSU football game.
