Leann Spinden, Matthew Tippen selected to KSU society
Two area residents have been selected for Quest, a honorary leadership society at Kansas State University.
Freshmen Leann Spinden, Burns, an agriculture education major, and Matthew Tippen, Hillsboro, majoring in pre-dentistry, were appointed to the honorary society.
Quest is organized by KSU's chapter of Blue Key, a senior leadership honor society that promotes student leadership development at high school and collegiate levels. Selection to Quest is based on written applications and interviews. Leadership experiences in high school are an important selection factor.
Members of Quest get a "behind the scene" look at some of KSU's award-winning programs, discuss important issues with university administrators, meet with state-level leaders to discuss higher education, and have opportunities for other leadership experiences.
