MANHATTAN -- Hard work and academic excellence have eared 77 Kansas State University students membership into the Pinnacle Honor Society. Pinnacle, a nontraditional student honor society, has members from more than 150 institutions across the U.S.

New members at Kansas State University were inducted at the Division of Continuing Education's recent Honors and Awards Reception. Suzanne Lueker, director of nontraditional and veteran student services at the university, said the number of Pinnacle Honor Society inductees has steadily increased each year, with this year's total up from 70 inductees in 2012.

"For the past several years, our nontraditional student population has been increasing, as has the number of nontraditional students earning recognition for their academic achievements," Lueker said.

To be eligible to join the university's chapter of Pinnacle, students must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, be of at least junior standing and have demonstrated a record of excellence in leadership, scholarship and service.

"Many of our university's nontraditional students have the challenging task of balancing family, career and education. It's very rewarding to have the opportunity to honor their efforts and achievements," Lueker said.
