2015 Seniors of Significance

The Arkansas Alumni Association honored its second class of Seniors of Significance during a reception at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House on Dec. 3. Seventy-one graduating seniors, commemorating the university's founding date of 1871, were recognized along with their faculty or staff mentor.
The 71 students were selected from 400 nominations and represent each University of Arkansas undergraduate academic college. These are exceptional seniors who combine academic achievement, leadership skills and substantial extracurricular campus and/or community activities.
This year celebrates the 51st year of honoring a senior male and female undergraduate through the Senior Honor Citation program, as well as the re-established Razorback Classics program. Students selected as Seniors of Significance have the opportunity to update their application in the 2016 spring semester to be further considered for these awards. During the reception, the Seniors of Significance received a special honor cord to wear during graduation.

Not only did I get to see new places and experience new things, but I gained a better understanding of how industrial engineering could be used in different parts of the world, especially how it could be used to help people.” Both advanced and developing countries need industrial engineers, and Daniel hopes to be able to use his degree to help people in both types of countries throughout his career.
