Meet Tim Roty from Leawood, Kansas! Tim is majoring in software engineering with minors in math and business. He’s been our lovely treasurer this year!

“My greatest memories of Mortar Board have been the little moments I’ve shared over the past year. It's been an extraordinary experience being a part of this organization and growing together as a class. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

However, it would be criminal not to mention Ski Trip. After two hard fought days of skiing and battling the elements at Winter Park, the weather finally cleared for our final run and we watched the sun set over the Colorado Mountains, before shredding the nar one final time. “

Thank you for all you do, Tim!

Meet Tanner Skelton from Fort Calhoun, Nebraska! Tanner is majoring in software engineering with a minor in math. Tanner is our class president this year!

“I joined Mortar Board because I looked up to some of the members in the class above me and per their recommendation, I applied. This organization has pushed me outside of my comfort zone, connected me with some amazing people, and provided me with memories that I will cherish long after graduation. I wouldn’t have done my senior year any other way. I love this group and always look forward to seeing everybody during our weekly trip to Iggys 🦎”

Thanks for all you do, Tanner!
