MSU 2014-2015 Citizen Scholars Selected: Three of the six are COB students
Each year the Missouri State Board of Governors selects six students to be recognized as Citizen Scholars. These students are selected for their dedication to the public affairs mission of the university through course work, activities and service-learning opportunities. This year three of the total six students are College of Business majors:
- Jared Bajkowski, a senior entrepreneurship major from Lee’s Summit, Missouri
- Brittany Donnellan, a senior international business major with a Spanish minor from Springfield
- Konnor Temple, a senior international business major with minors in Mandarin Chinese and logistics and supply chain management from Springfield
“Each year, this selection process seems to be more challenging as the students are more and more engaged in breathing life into the public affairs mission,” said Stephen Bough, Board of Governors member who served on the selection committee.
The Citizen Scholar Award, instituted by the Board of Governors and approved in 2007, recognizes full-time students who have made significant accomplishments while enrolled at one of the campuses at Missouri State University. The award is given to students who have contributed to the university, advanced the university’s public affairs mission and have been significantly engaged in extra-curricular accomplishments and/or in significant service activities in the community.
“These students have already made an impact in the community, and in some cases, globally,” said Bough.” We congratulate these Citizen Scholars on their many achievements and wish them well in their further endeavors. We know they will continue to make Missouri State proud.”
Each student received a crystal globe in recognition of the award and their names have been added to the Citizen Scholar wall in Plaster Student Union.
Congratulations to each of these students on their hard work and dedication during their time at Missouri State and within the College of Business!
