Sally Frost Mason, dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, held a reception yesterday to congratulate exceptional students in the college.
About 600 students were invited to the second-annual reception at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union, and about 100 students attended. Students drank punch, cookie and interacted with one another.
Invited students included freshmen who have a 4.0 cumulative grade point average and students who have a 3.9 cumulative GPA.
"I thought it would be a nice way to both reward some of the best students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and to remind them that they are a part of the college," Frost Mason said.

After making a brief speech, Frost Mason shook each student's hand and gave out free "First CLAS" T-shirts, which were designed by Toni Brou, University graduate. Brou won $200 for the T-t shirt design.
"These kids are so bright and enthusiastic." Frost Mason said. "It's so great to shake their hands.
"Some of the students tend to think of themselves strictly as members of a department or program, and I just want to remind them that they're a part of something much bigger than that,"

It works so well, and I have so much fun. I'm not going to stop."
Some students said they enjoyed being recognized and meeting new people.
"It's good to get some recognition," said Marion Worrell, Lenexa junior. "It's such a huge institution, and a lot of people probably feel lost."
Frost Mason said students were a part of the college, not just individual programs.
"Some of the students tend to think of themselves strictly as members of a department or program,
and I just want to remind them that they're a part of something much bigger than that," she said.
Steve Allton, Hutchinson junior,
said the ceremony was a way to help
students feel as though they were
part of the University.
"It helps the students connect to KU by doing this," Alton said. "But, I'm sure students still connect with their individual programs more than the college as a whole."
