University of Richmond Leadership Society Receives National Award

October 6, 2005

The University of Richmond’s chapter of the national leadership honor society Omicron Delta Kappa has been named a Circle of Distinction.

Of the 305 circles of the society, only 30 received the honor for the 2004-05 academic year.

Ashleigh Heck, the group’s president during 2004-05, said the members of the circle were very involved not only with the chapter but in many other campus activities. Brandon Boxler, one of the vice presidents of the circle, was named ODK’s National Leader of the Year.

Boxler co-chaired “Build It,” the largest community service initiative in the university’s history, which involved a blitz-style house build for Habitat for Humanity and the renovation of three local public schools.

The Richmond Circle was founded March 12, 1921. It is the fifth oldest ODK circle in the United States.
