Lyon College’s Order of the Tartan Mortar Board chapter inducted 30 rising seniors last week.
Mortar Board is an honor society that recognizes seniors for achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service. Faculty and staff nominate students for membership. Lyon’s chapter focuses on service, holding several service projects every school year.
When asked what she hoped to accomplish in the chapter, economics and business administration double-major Iva Popovic said, “I hope to become an even more active member of the campus community and to help promote leadership skills and values to the other members of the Lyon College community.”
From Novi Sad, Serbia, Popovic shared she also hopes to provide a different perspective as an international student.
Biology major Vinston Van said he hopes to further develop his leadership skills.
