UW Senior Honor Society Names Top Professors for 2011

December 5, 2011 — Members of the University of Wyoming Cap and Gown Chapter of Mortar Board have named their "Top Profs" for the academic year.

All of the members of the senior honor society selected professors who have made a positive impact on their lives at UW. These professors go beyond normal classroom expectations to help their students succeed, both in college and later in their careers.

"Being selected as a 'Top Prof' is a great honor for professors because they are chosen by the students," says College of Engineering and Applied Science Professor David Whitman, one of Mortar Board's advisers.

Randa May of Pine Bluffs, 2011-2012 chapter president, thanked UW President Tom Buchanan and wife Jacque for supporting the Top Prof banquet. She also recognized special guests Peg Tobin, a longtime contributor to the UW chapter, and Megan Stevens, the current national Mortar Board assistant executive director for chapter development.

Selection as a member of Mortar Board is one of the highest honors that a UW senior can achieve. Mortar Board recognizes students who have excelled in and out of the classroom, based on scholarship, leadership and service. Mortar Board members participate in many projects and activities throughout the year, both on campus and in the Laramie community.

Listed are the UW Mortar Board students, their Top Profs for 2011 and the professors' disciplines:
