On Monday, May 12, several students met downtown to speak with Marny Gilluly, Board of Trustees member, to thank her for her support of Honors and its international/summer experience trips. Currently, several Honors students are studying environmental science in Panama, and in just a few weeks others will travel to Washington, D.C., to study political science. It is thanks to the generosity and support of Marny Gilluly and other Honors supporters that these students are able to participate in these once-in-a-lifetime educational experiences.

On Friday, May 2, several students were recognized for their achievements during the 2007/2008 school year at the annual Honors Graduation ceremony. Congratulations to all those who presented at conferences this year, who helped to make the Honors Council and Program a huge success, and especially to those special few who have completed all Honors requirements and are now Honors Alumni! We are very proud of all of our Honors graduates, and we wish you nothing but success and happiness in the future.

On Saturday, April 19, we hosted the 2008 Honors Formal at the BCM Building on campus! The turn-out was great, the food was yummy, and everyone looked fabulous. Congratulations to Bryant Chase, Christine Thomas, and Charity Vander Wall on becoming the King and Queens of Honors Formal!
