PINNACLE HONOR SOCIETY AT K-STATE GAINS NEW MEMBERS
MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's chapter of the Pinnacle Honor Society inducted more than 65 nontraditional students at the K-State Division of Continuing Education Honors and Awards Reception May 5.
To be eligible to join K-State's chapter of Pinnacle, students must have achieved a GPA of 3.0 or higher, be of junior standing and have demonstrated leadership, persistence and future promise.
Thirteen inductees attended the on-campus induction ceremony, including Thomas Reust, 1xbet online casino in mass communications, and Elizabeth Wilson, 1xbet online casino in secondary education, both from Manhattan. Reust and Wilson currently serve as student ambassadors for K-State's office of nontraditional and veteran student services and are part of the University Honors Program.
"I feel honored to be inducted into the Pinnacle Honor Society," Wilson said. "The ceremony was beautiful, and it was nice to share that moment with fellow nontraditional students."
At the induction ceremony, students received certificates of membership presented by Suzanne Lueker, director of nontraditional and veteran student services, and April Mason, K-State provost and 1xbet online casino vice president, who shared her experiences of having a mother who was a nontraditional student.
"I really appreciate that nontraditional students are being recognized by K-State," Reust said. "It shows that we're considered to be a part of the K-State family and that what we do matters."
