MSU student from Libby earns honor

Lea Castor, a Montana State University senior from Libby, was among those recognized on Feb. 17 during the 27th annual Awards for Excellence banquet.

The banquet honored top seniors and their faculty or staff mentors. The MSU Alumni Association and the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce sponsored the banquet.

Honored students were nominated by faculty in their college or department. Qualified seniors must have a 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale as well as demonstrated campus leadership and community service.

In turn, the award-winning students each selected a mentor who was honored with them at the event.

Castor is majoring in elementary education.
