This past Friday, April 19, six College of Health Sciences students and two faculty members were recognized during the University of Missouri’s 97th annual Tap Day ceremony.

In a tradition dating back to 1917, small groups of students are selected (or “tapped”) by their peers to join one of Mizzou’s six secret honorary societies. The societies — QEBH, Mystical Seven, LSV, Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa and the Rollins Society — honor new members for their service, leadership and commitment to the Mizzou community.

Initiates are kept secret until Tap Day, when their identities are unveiled during a ceremony in Jesse Auditorium. Congratulations to our new taps!
