Heath Keiser, a senior animal science major from Gothenberg, Neb., was named a 2023 inductee to Mortar Board on April 1.
The event, co-sponsored by Mortar Board and the Innocents Society, recognized outstanding contributions of students selected to serve in the two senior honorary organizations, as well as the achievements of current members and notable underclassmen and seniors.
The Innocents Society inducts 13 new members each spring, with selection based on leadership, academic achievement and service to the university and greater community. The Innocents Society was founded in 1903 to promote the spirit of the university and is the chancellor's senior honorary. It is uniquely Nebraskan.
New members of Mortar Board are tapped into the Black Masque Chapter each spring by Mortar Boarders wearing black masks and robes. The 26 new members were selected based on scholarship, leadership and service.
Keiser is a member of the Livestock Judging team and has also participated in Nebraska Human Resource Institute while at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He was also the recipient of the numerous scholarships, including the Horatio Alger Association Scholarship and Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Scholarship.
