The Outstanding Senior award recognizes students who distinguish themselves through academic achievement; campus and community activities; academic, athletic or extra-curricular honors or awards; scholarships and work ethic during their time at Oklahoma State University. The OSU Alumni Association Student Awards and Selection Committee selected the 12 winners after meeting with the 41 Seniors of Significance selected in the fall of 2010 and reviewing their applications.
