"I have been blessed with having some of the best advisers and mentors here at OSU who have made me the person and leader that I am today. With the help of my parents, advisers and the opportunities available to students at OSU, I know I can confidently enter the next step of my academic and professional career equipped to solve the problems that must be addressed during my lifetime."

The Outstanding Senior award recognizes students who distinguish themselves through academic achievement; campus and community activities; academic, athletic or extra-curricular honors or awards; scholarships and work ethic during their time at Oklahoma State University.

The OSU Alumni Association Student Awards and Selection Committee selected the 12 winners after meeting with the 41 Seniors of Significance selected in the fall of 2010 and reviewing their applications.

A public banquet honoring the Outstanding Seniors was held on April 25 at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center in Stillwater. For more information about the OSU Alumni Association's Student Awards program, visit http://orangeconnection.org/studentawards.
