Ten students were selected as the class of 2018 Senior Honors at Wichita State University. The students were honored at a banquet on Wednesday, April 18.

Less than 1 percent of all WSU students receive this honor. Selection is based on a student’s commitment to academic excellence, involvement on campus and contribution to the community, academic standing and oral and written communication skills.
