Harold Fincher Visits Honors Seminar

Harold Fincher, Honors College Council member and prominent local businessman (retired), spoke to both sections of the Honors Seminar class on Friday, October 1. One of the main points he made was that everyone, regardless of the occupation or station in life, has a story to tell. We should all be listeners of those stories, he went on to say. Afterwards, several students commented positively on his talk.
