Student of the Year Judges 2018

The WSU Student of the Year scholarship competition is a competitive and prestigious opportunity for students who have proven exemplary leadership, involvement and service to the WSU and Wichita communities. Applications and nominations are open for students who wish to participate.

We are calling for judges to serve throughout the selection process. We are looking for three different sets of judges, so upon indicating interest, please include which round you would be most interested in serving on as well as your second choice.

Round 1: Application Review – Completed by Tuesday, Oct. 2

  • This process would be going through the qualified applicants and meeting to decide on which students move onto the next round. We have seen an increase, so we could be sifting through 60-70 applications depending on how many student apply. 

Round 2: Interviews – Friday, Oct. 12

  • Our judges' panel will sit through a series of interviews of those selected to move on through the application round. Deliberation and decision on the final court of eight students will follow the interviews. 

Round 3: Presentations – Friday, Oct. 19

  • This panel will serve as audience to our eight finalists as they present and showcase why they should win the title of WSU Student of the Year and scholarship. There will be two winners this year.

Send which round you would like to serve or any questions to Kennedy Rogers at kennedy.rogers@wichita.edu or 978-7402.
