K-State’s Freshman Honorary Selects 31 New Members

MANHATTAN – A freshman honorary society unique to Kansas State University has new members for the 2006-2007 school year.

Quest is organized by K-State’s chapter of Blue Key, a senior leadership honor society that promotes student leadership development at both the high school and collegiate levels. Quest was founded at K-State in 2004 and is exclusive to the university.

Quest members get a “behind-the-scenes” look at some of K-State’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. Selection to Quest is based on written applications and interviews. Leadership experiences in high school are an important selection factor.
