Members of the University of Wyoming’s Mortar Board senior honor society recently
presented their “Top Profs” at the 46th annual Top Prof Night.
Mortar Board is the premier national honor society recognizing college seniors for
outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service. Mortar Board provides
opportunities for continued leadership development; promotes service to colleges and
universities; and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. UW chapter
members participate in numerous projects and activities throughout the year, both
on campus and in the Laramie community.
Members of the Cap and Gown Chapter of Mortar Board selected professors who have positively
influenced their lives at UW. These professors go beyond normal classroom expectations
to help their students succeed.
“‘Top Prof’ is an event that our members value greatly, as it allows students to recognize
the faculty who have had an impact on their lives,” says Christine Wade, an associate
dean in the UW College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources and adviser
to the UW chapter. “Faculty are always honored to be recognized as a ‘Top Prof’ because
this is a student-driven selection process.”
