The recipients of the 2020 Glenn Dolence Leadership Awards
have been announced by Missouri Southern State University.
Sarah Schultz, an international business/management major
from Baxter Springs, Kan., was the recipient of the annual Leader of the Year
award.
Schultz served as a member of Student Senate for three
years, including as president for the 2019-20 academic year; as the student
representative on the Presidential Search Advisory Committee; and the vice
chair of the Dean’s Student Advisory Committee for the Plaster College of
Business. She’s also a member of the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership
Honor Society, the Delta Mu Delta International Business Honor Society, and
president of Collegiate DECA.
Student Services and Omicron Delta
Kappa at Missouri Southern sponsor the awards, which are presented to
graduating students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership skills on
campus and who have made a difference in the areas of campus organizations,
student employment, student services or athletics.
The
awards are named in honor of Dr. Glenn D. Dolence, former vice president for
Student Services at Missouri Southern, who retired from MSSU in 1996 after 27
years of service and was a founding member of the Golden Crest Circle of ODK.
He later served as mayor of Webb City, Mo., and has held a variety of other
posts in the community.
