Senior Profile: Levi Hickert


 Levi is from Hays, and is earning a degree in Pre-engineering Physics with a minor in Mathematics. He plans to complete the dual degree program in Engineering at K-State, where he will transfer this coming fall, and will receive his degree in Physics from FHSU. 

Levi was President of the Physics and Engineering Club, and a member of Astronomy Club, College Republicans, and Tigers Motorcycle Club. He was granted a spot on the Dean's Honor Roll every semester at FHSU.

"I would like to thank all of the profs in the Physics Department. The relationships I've developed with each of them has really made my time at FHSU great. Having daily conversations with Clark, Deyo, Kayvan, and Maseberg over lunch really made the physics department feel like home. Also, having Gavin as a research mentor and reference really gave me the opportunity to excel not only on paper, but in practice as well. I also can't forget about my daily chats with Kelly, our department administrative assistant. Finally, all of my buddies in the physics department, some of which are also a part of the Honors College. I wouldn't be here without them, truly. If I hadn't met them in my first semester of college, I would not have stuck with Physics for this long. I am truly grateful to all of them. They kept me sane and allowed me to achieve what I have so far!"  

When he's not in the lab, Levi enjoys collecting and shooting vintage firearms, mountain hiking, history, and motorcycles. His goal, once he graduates, is to work in the defense industry in vehicle or weapon systems development--which he hopes will take him around the world! 

Levi brings a great work ethic to everything he does, so K-State is lucky to have him! Show them how it's done, Levi, and best of luck!
