Westminster College Honors Students Selected for Who's Who

Westminster College students selected for inclusion in the 2008-2009 edition of Who's Who among Students in American Colleges and Universities were honored at a March 10 reception in the McKelvey Campus Center.

The event, sponsored by Westminster's Student Government Association (SGA), featured congratulatory remarks from Westminster President Dr. Richard Dorman.

Cory Mathias, retiring SGA academic chair, coordinated the selection process. Criteria for consideration include: junior or senior standing; 3.5 or better cumulative grade point average; leadership experience and extra-curricular activities at Westminster.

Also invited to attend the reception were SGA president Travis Gulling; incoming SGA academic chair Natasha Kassim; current seniors who were selected last year; SGA advisers; and members of President's Dorman's Cabinet.

Beth Brooks, executive secretary in the Student Affairs Office and liaison to SGA, said, "The Who's Who recognition gala has become a spring tradition. Honorees are given the opportunity to invite a faculty or staff member of the Westminster community who has been a positive influence in their campus experience. This serves the dual purpose of recognizing the students' achievements and highlights the encompassing support and encouragement that typifies Westminster."
