WHAT IS MORTAR BOARD?

 

 

Mortar Board is the national senior honorary celebrating students excelling in scholarship, leadership and service. Since its establishment in 1918, nearly a quarter of a million members have been initiated at 228 chartered chapters across the nation. The national site is here.

Mortar Board provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to colleges and universities and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community.  Additionally, Mortar Board offers numerous benefits and opportunities to members, including career networking, fellowships and awards.

The Pallas Chapter of Mortar Board has a long tradition (over 50 years) of encouraging scholarship, leadership and service at the University of Louisville.  Some of our better-known traditions are producing the Official University of Louisville Student Planning Calendar, and flower sales at graduation.  Other activities include service projects on and off-campus, and social events.  We also have a tradition of generating scholarship support for graduate or professional education.
