On Sunday, August 29 the SAU Honors College will hold its annual Matriculation Ceremony. This year we welcome 52 new students, our largest class ever. Included in that class are four sophomores who successfully petitioned for admission based upon their freshman grades at SAU. Also included in this year's class is a junior transfer student from SAU Tech in Camden.

Thanks to the generosity of the governor and the legislature the largest contingent of honors students hails from Arkansas. Thirty two students, including six from Magnolia, chose to enroll in the Honors College. Texas and the world tied for second with eight students apiece. The Honors College class includes international students from Nepal (3), Nigeria, Korea, Malaysia, and Bulgaria. The remaining four students came from the states of Louisiana, Florida, Minnesota, and California.
