۽ֱ Honors Program joined the annual meeting of the Louisiana Collegiate Honors Council on Oct. 27-30, in Orlando, FL.

Dr. Joshua Stockley, Director of the ۽ֱ Honors Program, was accompanied by five students – Emmanuel Perez, a senior biology major, Yana Paudel, a senior mathematics major, Caitlyn Cullen, a junior political science major, Grace Gunder, a junior biology major, and Ariana Yelverton, a senior biology major.

“Going forward, I believe NCHC has given me the keys needed to become a better leader within honors – one that is more involved, engaged, and confident,” said Cullen, the vice-president of the Honors Program.

“I think one of the best parts about NCHC was the fact that I got to connect and network with more students and faculty than I thought I would,” said Paudel, the secretary of the Honors Program. “When the attendees were sharing ideas, success stories, and even problems in their honors program, I realized the importance of a different perspective and the importance of a diverse community.”

“Through the lectures presented by various Honors institutions, I feel empowered with confidence and competence to influence not only in my community but potentially the world with the skills I have learned through the Honors Program. For that, I am grateful,” said Perez, a senior class representative for the Honors Program.

“Our participation at NCHC speaks volumes about the quality of the ۽ֱ Honors Program and raises our stature within the honors community,” said Stockley. “It is a valuable opportunity to learn from other honors programs; simultaneously, for other programs to see what is successful at ۽ֱ.”

Attending the conference were honors students and administrators from colleges and universities across the United States.

The National Collegiate Honors Council is an educational organization that supports and promotes undergraduate honors education. NCHC has nearly 900 member institutions and several hundred individual members, impacting over 330,000 honors students. NCHC provides its members with resources, training opportunities, and collaborative events to build and sustain honors programs and their curriculum. NCHC distributes honors scholarships and hosts exclusive events for its members.
