MORTONS

Nine students finish Dana's most rigorous program

Commencement, Saturday, 10:30 a.m.

Harder classes, extra classes, independent study, community service and a thesis or project presented to the public are just some of the requirements nine graduates completed to earn the title Morton Scholar at graduation. As part of Dana’s honors program, these students put in hundreds of hours of work to earn the title, named after Dr. Richard E. Morton, president of Dana College and Trinity Seminary from 1944–1956.

These graduates made a large contribution to the academic and service atmosphere at Dana. The goal of the Morton Scholar program is to prepare students to be leaders in the world outside Dana as well.

The 2003 Dana College Morton Scholars are Stephanie Collins, Crystal Cordes, Jessica Donnell, Amber Lake, Jeffrey Mangus, Amy Miller, Sara Smit, Erin Sorensen and Heather Wonders.
