9 graduating seniors win chancellor’s awards


On March 29 and 30 nine graduating seniors were surprised with announcements that they had received Chancellor’s Student Awards.

In addition, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will host a reception to honor the students May 22 in the Kansas Union. The nine honorees also will sit on a platform with the chancellor during commencement activities on May 23 in KU’s Memorial Stadium, and their portraits will be in the commencement program.
