New Year, New Honorables!

New Honorables and Peer Mentors! 
(Apologies to Jason and Chesney for chopping you off! Oh no.)

This fall the Honors College welcomed 63 new students into the program. We keep hearing "that sounds like a lot!" It is! This is the largest incoming class ever! We couldn't be more excited to see all these new faces ready to discover all the people, places, and things that will shape their path. Some of them were born hitting the ground running, others are more calculating in their commitments; some know exactly where they're headed, while some are enjoying the journey. However they got here, we're very glad they're here. Wherever they're headed, we're glad to go with them. 

The Honors College is also celebrating 10 years this year. With 130 alumni, a current roster of 158, and so many friends and supporters over the years, we're looking forward to catching up and reminiscing with old friends at Homecoming. (Watch our Facebook and Instagram for more info about our events.)

While we treasure our past and all the students, faculty, staff, ideas, challenges, innovations, achievements, study hours, and snacks that got us here, we're very excited about the future and all the Honorable Tigers still to come. Each incoming class brings something new and the program evolves as the students do. It's a really fun thing to be part of and, I know I can speak for me and Kevin (because he also says it all the time), we definitely have the best jobs on campus. 

Wishing everyone a great semester and we hope to see many of you at Homecoming!
