UTSA Mortar Board chapter receives national award for excellence
Share this Story(Oct. 15, 2009)--The Missions chapter at UTSA was among the outstanding chapters honored for their excellence at the Mortar Board National College Senior Honor Society national conference. The group was one of 67 outstanding chapters to receive the Silver Torch Award, presented to chapters executing timeliness and dedication while exemplifying the ideals of scholarship, leadership and service.
Silver Torch Award recipients are selected based on a review of national records, requiring that the chapter meet all of the national minimum standards and deadlines. UTSA chapter President Kelley Terry was present to accept the chapter's award.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from four founding chapters to 227 chartered collegiate chapters with nearly a quarter of a million initiated members across the nation. The UTSA chapter was chartered in 2000.
Mortar Board provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to colleges and universities and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Some notable Mortar Board members include former President Jimmy Carter, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
