PAIGE STINGLEY news@kansan.com
Student Affairs surprised outstanding seniors with University awards this week. Other students who received awards are Emily Frese, Tyler Wright, Lindsey Mayfield, Sam Logan, Anahita Khanlari, Alexandra Null and Dat Hoang.
Ben Jang
Award: Class of 1913 Award
Hometown: Olathe
Major: Cellular Biology
Tyler Childress
"I never expected to win, I just wanted to get my story out there about my time at KU and how it got me to where I am today. I was ousted."
Jang has been a teaching assistant for several classes, is a peer-led undergraduate supplements leader and is a coordinator at Jubilee Cafe.
He will be attending The University of Kansas School of Medicine in the fall and wants to be a physician in the future. Fun fact: "I went skydiving last year."
Award: Rusty Leffel Concerned Student Award
Hometown: Coffeyville
Major: Sociology and Political Science
Tyler is the president of his pre-law fraternity, a member of Mortar Board — a community service organization for seniors — and a volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Childress is a member of numerous honors societies and is the Student Senate chief of staff.
"I'm really humbled and honored knowing that, out of my entire graduating class, I was selected for this award. It feels great to know that I've left my legacy."
Tyler will be attending law school in the fall.
Fun fact: "During my freshman year I went to a Student Senate open forum meeting.
I didn't really think Senate was my thing, so I left. Eventually I changed my mind, and it changed my life."
Addison Keegan-Harris
Award: Donald K. Alderson Memorial Award Hometown: Topeka Major: Applied Behavioral Science Minor: Leadership Studies
Keegan-Harris was a resident assistant for two years, a peer leadership consultant, orientation assistant, Hawk Week leader, E.X.C.E.L. finalist and is on the Blueprints planning committee.
"It's never been about the accolades for me, but it is such a validating feeling to know that someone noticed my hard work. I am passionate about all of the things I participate in and it feels good to have that nice pat on the back. I feel really appreciated."
Addison will be working with the Kansas Women's Leadership Institution after graduation. "It's a good combination of everything I'm passionate about," she said.
Fun fact: "I've never broken a bone or had a bloody nose."
Autumn Smith
Award: Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle
Student Scholar Award
Hometown: Lewis
Major: Cellular Biology
Smith is the president of All Scholarship Hall Council. She is an active member in National Residence Hall Honorary and Golden Key International Honors Society, and she volunteers with the Peer Health Advisors in Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"This is actually amazing to me because the scholarship is for a scholarship-hall student. It feels amazing knowing that the community I live in recognizes the work I do. I have also worked with Kathryn Tuttle before, so it's an honor to receive her award."
After graduation, Smith will attend The University of Kansas School of Medicine where she will study Rural Family Practice.
Fun fact: "I have a condition called syndactyly, which means I only have eight toes."
Award: Alexis F. Dillard Student Involvement Award Hometown: Lenexa Major: Spanish and Global and International Studies
Daniel Sanchez
"It's a huge honor to be recognized for this award. I am humbled that people thought of me as an ideal candidate. It feels good knowing that I made my mark on the University."
Sanchez is a member of Alpha Tau Omega, is part of the 2014 Homecoming Steering Committee and participates in SUA, Center for Community Outreach, Mentors in the Lives of Kids (MILK) and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO).
After college, he plans on finding a job in New York City. Fun fact: "When I was little I had severe epilepsy. The doctors didn't think I was going to survive. That just shows how far I've come."
