Tech's Leadership Development Team created the Hall of Fame to raise awareness about the importance of student leadership and to recognize the valuable contributions student leaders make. The Hall of Fame recognizes students based on their contributions to the campus community. It's not about how many leadership positions they list on their resume. The award recognizes students who have made a difference. Any full- time Tech student in good academic and disciplinary standing is eligible to apply for induction to the Leadership Hall of Fame. An anonymous committee of students, faculty and staff reviews applications. Up to six students are selected each year for this honor. The inductees for the 2001 Leadership Hall of Fame are Travis DeWeese, Jason Lamont, Colleen Manning, and Jason Thuringer. • Travis DeWeese is a senior mechanical engineering student from Spearfish. He will graduate in Dec. 2001 and he plans to travel to Germany to be a ski and snowboard instructor before looking for an engineering position in the ski and snowboard industry. As a student leader at Tech, DeWeese was very involved on campus. He is a member of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, where he has served as historian, editor, and summer housing manager. He is a former member of the Leadership Development Team. He also served as an orientation leader and went on to become one of the chairs of the Orientation Program during his senior year.
