Our first member introduction is Aaron Nelson!
•Aaron is serving as this year’s Treasurer on our Executive Board.
When asked why he loves Washburn, Aaron said, “I would say that my favorite thing about Washburn is that I feel connected to campus. The class size is smaller, and I feel like I can learn much better in this environment rather than a larger class size.”

Over the next several weeks, we will be introducing our 2020-2021 Mortar Board class. Mortar Board is a National organization that recognizes college seniors that have excelled in leadership, service, and scholarship.
Mortar Board is a national network that includes over 200 chapters, 35 alumni chapters, and 25 geographical sections. Mortar Board chapters across the country are challenged to provide thoughtful leadership to the campus and community to create an environment of effective communication, to move toward a meaningful goal, and to maintain the ideals of the society. Since 1918, over 220,000 college seniors have been initiated into the Mortar Board tradition of scholarship, leadership, and service.
The Ichabod Chapter of Mortar Board was founded in 2005 at Washburn University. Stay tuned for this year’s class introductions!
