Two of Top 20 Freshman Men are CHE Majors

Each fall, Mortar Board is responsible for choosing 20 students for the Top Freshman Women, and Omicron Delta Kappa chooses 20 for the Top Freshman Men.  From these, the Top Ten students will be chosen in each group.

Selection of students, who are now in their sophomore year at OSU, is based upon scholarship, community service, campus involvement and outstanding leadership from their freshman year.  Two ChE students, Race Clark and Billy Collins, were selected in the top 20 freshmen men.

Billy Collins graduated from Bishop Lynch High School, Dallas, Texas.   He is in the chemical engineering pre-med option, with a minor in philosophy.  While his career goal remains to enter medical school to become and anesthesiologist, he writes, “I am also becoming more and more intrigued by oil and gas recovery and refining.”   The photo of Billy is from his studies at Cambridge University this summer.  Billy is also active in the CEAT Student Council. 

Race Clark, from Claremore, Oklahoma, is a chemical engineering major, also in the pre-med option.  He plans to enter the petroleum industry after completing his bachelor's degree at Oklahoma State University.
