Senior Profile: Samual Neff

Sam is from Salina, majoring in Accounting with a minor in Management Information Systems (MIS). He will be starting as a staff accountant in the fall at KCoe Isom in Salina. Sam was a nominee for the 2021 FHSU Torch Award. 

Sam calls his advisor, Misty Schartz, an "incredible supporter." They are both spreadsheet enthusiasts and "aggressive" planners! "Her expertise in helping me craft my schedules and understand what I needed to complete to graduate was unmatched. She also extended me an opportunity to work at the KSCPA Inspire Business Camp which allowed me to make a ton of professional connections. Every one of her classes also renewed my interest in the field of accounting."

Sam has committed himself to numerous positions on campus, including President of Fort Hays Honor Society & Success and Engagement Coordinator for the Honors College. He has served on multiple (maybe ALL) of the Honors College committees, always providing the best student perspective and guiding the outcomes that serve and enhance the Honors student experience. (He has also helped sort out many an Honor Society and Honors College mail mix up.) 

Sam embodies all of our mission pillars: academic excellence, leadership, engagement, and personal growth. He has been a resource for current and prospective students for all his time with us, and he has been invaluable for the Honors College staff, especially in uncertain times. Sam brings kindness, thoughtfulness, and a steady head to any situation and he will be very missed. (Sam also sometimes brings the most beautiful and delicious homemade pies...this was a hidden secret for far too long. He is full of talent and surprises.) We wish you all the success in the world, Sam!
