Mason finance major and volleyball player David Lucas, the 2014 Senior of the Year, has been so busy the past four years studying, competing, interning, and working as a teaching assistant in the School of Management that he has not taken a full account of his impact on the university.

His professors, mentors, and coach certainly have kept track, though. Reading the raves in their recommendation letters has been a gratifying and humbling experience for the University Scholars Program standout.
