For a group of 20 seniors, the first day of winter quarter signified the culmination of a tireless undergraduate experience, as the students were honored by the Student Government Association with the Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges Award.

The recipients of Tech’s 2005-2006 Who’s Who were announced the first day of winter classes.

Lindsey Mencacci, SGA president and a senior biology major, said the application process, which is done through the SGA, is based on students’ GPA, community service, organizational involvement and talents.

“The selection process is based on everything,” she said. “It includes anything a student can be involved in on campus.”

Jacquelyn Adcock, a Who’s Who recipient and a senior biology major, said she is happy about the recognition, which she deems an honor.

“I see it as a great honor because students are chosen from all over the nation,” Adcock said. “And I feel honored to be one of the ones to be chosen from Tech,” Adcock said.

Mencacci said a private reception for the recipients is scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 11 in the Waggonner Room of the Thomas Assembly Center.
