With several family members and other supporters on hand, the Honors Program, facilitated by Assistant Director Carla Draper Holloway, inducted 90 members. Program participants included four-year senior scholar Christian Readus; Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs John Jones; Dr. Pamela Arrington, associate vice president of academic affairs and undergraduate studies/Honors Program director; three-year junior scholar Mark Pecke; and a slate of impressive Honors Council executive officers.
The keynote speaker for the occasion was Nicole White, Honors Class of 2016, a senior consultant for Ernst & Young. White shared with the new inductees a detailed account of her love and respect for her late father, along with her appreciation for his wisdom and positive influence.
She encouraged the honor students to be decisive, to deal with the consequences of their decisions and to face life with assurance rather than regret. She also cautioned them to select their friends carefully.
