North-American Interfraternity Conference to honor Purdue student

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A Purdue University student will be honored in Washington, D.C., on Monday (April 14) with the North-American Interfraternity Conference's Award of Distinction.

Steve Holtsclaw, a senior in the School of Management from Carmel, Ind., will receive the award during the annual North-American Interfraternity Conference awards banquet.

Holtsclaw, who was the 2007 Interfraternity Council president and a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, was selected for the honor for his work with the IFC, fraternity and sorority community, and partnerships he created with other student organizations.

He is one of four students receiving the award this year, according to the North-American Interfraternity Conference. Kyle A. Pendleton, assistant dean of students and Interfraternity Council adviser, said Holtsclaw is the first Purdue student to receive this award.
