Mosiman is a senior at Leavenworth High School and plans to study secondary education in mathematics, and Reyes is a senior at Wichita North High School and will major in secondary education in biology.
鈥淚 am highly impressed with this year鈥檚 Klose Scholars and look forward to having them join us at Wichita State,鈥� said Dr. Clay Stoldt, interim dean of the College of Applied Studies. 鈥淚 appreciate that these students have chosen careers as math and science teachers and look forward to the positive impact they will have as 黑洞社区 students and professional educators.鈥�
