Activities and News:
- Eight Honors College students recently attended the National Collegiate Honors Council in New Orleans. Seven students were on the program and one was a nominee for national Honors College student of the year.
- Also at the NCHC meeting was a joint presentation by SAU, SAU Tech, and College of the Ouchitas about their new Honors 2 + 2 programs. SAU Tech has already enrolled 10 students and COTO 8. The Honors College hopes to sign South Arkansas Community College and Cossatot Community College soon. Word on the street is that Henderson is attempting to piggyback on our idea by launching a similar program.
- Dr. Kardas is now co-chair of the NCHC Research Committee
- Lilli Hollensworth interviewed for medical school at UAMS last Saturday.
- Two honors students, Cheyenne Meyer and Joel Pogue, will graduate in three years in May.
- Several honors students, Christopher Harris, Pui (Joy) Tan, Samson King, and Subir Shakya, are applying to graduate school or for funding. Schools include: The London School of Economics, the National Science Foundation, Colorado State University, and St. Louis University.
- The Honors Seminar class has recently hosted Trey Berry, David Rankin, Donna Allen, and Paul McLendon.
- Rachel Wetherington is working on a project titled: SAU as Text. It will provide all first year students with a campus walkabout designed to give them experiential learning about SAU history and traditions.
- The NEW iPads arrived (at least most of them did) last week. Because Apple released a new model in October the Honors College decided to delay its annual purchase in order to provide the latest models.
