Karla Kalantar was named the recipient of the 2013 Nat Tracy Servant Leader Award at HPU.

BROWNWOOD , TX (05/02/2013)(readMedia)-- Karla Kalantar, a senior social work major from Houston, was recently presented with the Nat Tracy Servant Leader Award at Howard Payne University.

The Nat Tracy Servant Leader Award was established in 1998 to honor HPU seniors who best demonstrate servant leadership qualities as exemplified by the life of the late Dr. Nat Tracy, a member of HPU's Bible faculty from 1950-1975.

"Karla exemplifies what it means to be a follower of Christ and a leader among her peers and in the community," said Dr. Mark Tew, HPU provost and chief academic officer. "It is our honor to recognize her for her achievements."

Nominations for this award are solicited each spring from HPU staff, faculty and students.
