5/11/2009 (Kelley Indianapolis)
The Indiana University Kelley School of Business Indianapolis honored more than 50 top business students recently before a packed room at the annual Scholarship and Awards Breakfast.
The well-attended event featured students from all walks of life who were recognized as the top scholars at Kelley Indianapolis. Glenn Bosch, director of the school’s Office of Development, told the crowd “more than 300 students qualify for these scholarships so those who receive the awards really are the cream of the crop.”
Student Andrew J. Heckman was honored as the recipient of the J. Dwight Peterson Key Award, the highest honor given to a student at Kelley Indianapolis. The award is named for the former president of City Securities and a 1919 graduate of IU-Bloomington. It honors the overall outstanding Kelley senior on the basis of superior scholarship, extracurricular activities and character.
“This award truly is the capstone for all of my pursuits here and it’s really an honor to be recognized,” said Heckman, who may continue his pursuit of an MBA at the school.
The award was presented by John Peterson, son of the award’s namesake and current chairman and CEO.
“My challenge to you people is that out of 35,000 students you’re the best …and I’m here to thank you and accolade you as a representative of Indiana University. But we challenge you for more as we move forward,” John Peterson said.
