LANE RECEIVES ‘SPIRIT OF SOUTHEAST’ AWARD
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., May 18, 2001 - Jennifer Lane of Troy, Ill., was presented with the Spirit of Southeast Award April 25 at the annual Student Leadership Awards Banquet at Southeast Missouri State University.
Dr. Kenneth W. Dobbins, president of Southeast Missouri State University, selected Lane for the award based on her academic accomplishments, involvement in campus life and her commitment to service to the University and the community.
“It was a great surprise and honor,” said Lane, who is the first ever recipient of the Spirit of Southeast Award.
Lane, a senior at Southeast, is a superior student, majoring in elementary education. She has been actively involved in leadership roles in many aspects of campus life during her four years at Southeast. She has been president of Panhellenic Council, a two-term chairperson of the Emerging Leaders program and president of the Presidential Ambassadors organization. She also has been an officer and board member of her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi.
“The combination of so many diverse leadership positions is truly extraordinary,” said Dobbins, who presented Lane with the award.
In addition to her commitment to campus life, Lane has demonstrated a deep commitment to service. She has served on the Greek Strategic Planning Committee, the Search Committee for Coordinator of Student Involvement, the Funding Board of Student Government, the University Athletic Committee and the Southeast Missouri University Foundation’s Student Division for the capital campaign. She also has served as co-coordinator for Greek Life 101, a member of the Panhellenic recruitment team and co-coordinator for “Something of Value,” a program dealing with risk management for the Greek system.
“Jenny’s record of exceptional participation in the life of the University and balance between academic, social development and campus activities make her the ideal first recipient of the Spirit of Southeast Award,” Dobbins said.
CAPE, JACKSON OFFICES OF MISSOURI LICENSE BUREAUS TO EXTEND OPERATING HOURS

The new hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To accommodate the traditionally large volume of transactions at the end of the month, the offices will be open from 8 a.m. to noon on the last Saturday of each month.
By adding more hours of service in the morning and afternoon, the License Bureaus will provide an additional four and one-half hours per week in the Cape Girardeau office and an additional one and one-half hours per week in the Jackson office.
These changes make the hours the same at both offices, provide additional customer service during the week and accommodate the needs of the public at the end of the month near due dates for license renewals.
