"who's who " who's who amon.9 students in american universities and colleges students establish collegiate honor Each year faculty and staff members selected students to become members of the national honors program, Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. These students didn't campaign for distinction; rather facu lty members chose them based on criteria, which included academic standing and involvement in the community. "The unique thing about the Who's Who program criteria is that GPA is not the only thing considered," Dr. Jerome Barnes, director of special projects, said. In order for students to be nominated for Who's Who, the faculty had to nominate students who they thought were potential candidates. These names were compiled into a list. All nominees were then asked to fill out an activities sheet detailing their extracurricular and academic activities. The students' records were then checked to make sure they fulfilled all the criteria. Ballots were then given to faculty members, and the votes were tabulated. The chosen students were then sent certificates in the mail detailing their membership status. "It's really neat to be listed among so many people who have both good academic standing and a desire to serve the community," senior Cheryl Calhoun said. Calhoun said it was important to be involved in as much as possible while in college. Calhoun, a psychology major, was a member of Delta Gamma Rho social club and Psi Chi, a psychology majors' associa tion. "A lot of time in school, people just focus on grades and don't pay attention to anything else," Calhoun said. Senior Josiah Smelser said knowing so many people had a hand in the nomination process made this recognition much more important. "It's nice to know the faculty thinks so highly of me," Smelser said. Smelser, an accounting major, was a member of Knights sociaJ club and the Accounting Society. . - Matt Blansett and Cairey Tai James Huff -Alpha Chi Bethany Jackson - Who's Who Rebecca Jaquish - Alpha Chi Jon Jensen - Alpha Chi Rusudan Kambarashvili - Alpha Chi Tyler Kemmerer - Alpha Chi 214 II organizations Alistair Kent - Who's Who Jacob Kirby - Who's Who Sara Langley - Alpha Chi Courtney Lehew - Who's Who Amy Locklin - Alpha Chi Patricia Luethke - Who'sWho Senior Katie Bond, co·chairman of the Student Association Spiritual Life Com– mittee, selVes donuts and juice to students at a SA prayer breakfast.
