Two initiated into leadership society

JMC students Connor Jaschen and Anna Quitmeyer were initiated into the Murray State Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honor society.

Jaschen is a junior public relations major and serves as editor in chief of The Murray State News. Quitmeyer is a senior public relations major.

Omicron Delta Kappa recognizes outstanding scholarship and leadership in one of five areas: scholarship, community or campus activities, athletics, journalism and mass media and the performing arts.

Founded in 1914 on the campus of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, Omicron Delta Kappa was the first college honor society of a national scope to recognize leadership service in extracurricular activities.
