Forty-four Washburn University students are
included in the 2012 edition of Who’s Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges, having been selected as national outstanding campus
leaders. The students were honored during an awards reception on the Washburn
campus.
Campus nominating committees and editors of the annual directory have included
the names of these students based on their academic achievement, service to the
community, leadership in extracurricular activities and potential for continued
success.
They join an elite group of students from more than 2,300 institutions of
