I wasn't sure where to place this post but thought it was worthy of recognition. And since the great majority of eyeballs are on this thread I put it here. If it needs to be moved that's fine.
The Senior Honor is one of the most prestigious honors a Wichita State University student can receive, and each year, only 10 students are selected to receive it. The honor is awarded to WSU students who demonstrate outstanding scholarship, leadership, involvement and service with WSU and the surrounding community. Among this year's honorees are the following 3 student athletes:
