Mortar Board National Senior Honor Society Mortar Board is currently recruiting for the 2003-2004 school year! � Mortar Board National Senior Honor Society recognizes college seniors for academic excellence, outstanding leadership abilities, and unwavering commitment to community service. Mortar Board is an honor society that not only acknowledges the achievements of members but also seeks to give back to the community that has fostered our growth over the past few years. We sponsor an annual teddy bear drive Oski Cubs For Kids. This past semester, we collected over 700 stuffed animals from student groups and local businesses, which were donated to the Oakland Children's Hospital and local homeless shelters during the holiday season.�In addition, we grant two Scholar Athlete Awards annually to athletes who support our ideals of service, scholarship, and leadership. This semester, UC Berkeley Mortar Board hopes to become more involved in our national philanthropy project Reading is Leading, which is a commitment to bettering our communities through literacy and education.
