The Oklahoma State University chapter of the Mortar Board honor society recently named students to its annual list of Top 20 Freshmen Men and Top 20 Freshmen Women, as well as Top 10 Freshmen Men and Women for the 2023-24 class.  

“The Top 20 Men and the Top 20 Women were selected after grading 154 student applications,” said Gunar Aune, Mortar Board Top 10 coordinator. “These individuals completed a series of interviews to help select the Top 10 Men and the Top 10 Women. The Mortar Board was extremely impressed with the strong pool of candidates this year and is proud of all of the incredible student leaders who we were able to work with throughout the process.”
