Dr. Joey Linn, associate vice president for student affairs and registrar at Fort Hays State University, received the Diane Barnes Mentoring Excellence Award at the recent conference of the Kansas Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions officers.

“It’s always humbling to receive an award from your peers across the state,” said Linn. “This was certainly a nice surprise, and I am honored to be the 2014 recipient of this award.”

The Diane Barnes Award honors and encourages the efforts and accomplishments of dedicated and inspiring mentors.
