Scholarship, Leadership, Service
Mortar Board, Inc. is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for distinguished ability and achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service.
Mortar Board chapters across the nation are challenged to provide thoughtful leadership to the campus and community, to create an environment of effective communication, to move toward a meaningful goal, and to maintain the ideals of the society. Each chapter has the autonomy to determine its own implementation of the goals, National Project, and resolutions and recommendations set forth by delegates to the National Conference.
Members of the Black Masque Chapter have been serving the University of Nebraska - Lincoln since 1905.

Black Masque Class of 2006 receives national honors!
This summer, 2007 class respresentatives Betsey Miller and Laura Podany accepted numerous awards on behalf of the Black Masque Class of 2006. The most prestigious award that honors a Mortar Board chapter, the Ruth Weimer Mount Chapter Excellence Award, was given to our chapter this year! This award is the highest possible honor given in chapter achievement. The receiving chapter is chosen based on chapter operations, participation, selections, advising, visibility and communications. Black Masque Chapter will celebrate and honor the 2006 class in an award ceremony at the alumni tailgate on October 20, 2007.
The Black Masque Chapter was also awarded the Golden Torch Award and the Project Excellence Award.
Also, our chapter advisor Dr. Jason Vogel was honored with the Excellence in Advising Award. He received this award because in his five years of strong commitment to the Black Masque chapter, he has truly been a role model in demonstrating professionalism, leadership and the spirit of service. He constantly sacrificed his own time for improvement of the chapter, always providing unparalleled support. Former Chapter President Jill Rosno explained, “His dedication to our group and humble leadership provided a guiding light for our chapter as we strove to be the best and learned from each experience. He encouraged us to take on new challenges, implement new ideas, and improve on the strong foundation that has been set by previous classes.”
Congratulations Class of 2006!
