Fostering curiosity, creativity, & connection

I joined the Honors Program to engage in culturally diverse experiences alongside passionate, objective-driven individuals. As a living learning community, it provides the support needed to reach excellence in all aspects of college life. Our exclusive honors classes allow students to engage in education on a personal level, strengthening their bonds with instructors and peers. Nonetheless, the Honors Program offers more than just classes; it allows us to be part of something greater. By joining this community, I was able to grow with it. Partaking in events, programs, and trips, I cultivated something that transcends the classroom: friendships and memories.

I have engaged in a bit of everything. I've taken several HP classes, Sociology of Gender by Dr. D'Unger being my favorite so far. I've experienced amazing trips and events, like our visit to the Atlanta Aquarium and HProm. I'm so engaged with the community that I joined the Honors Leadership Council and helped organize some events myself!

As a Physics major, I had the opportunity to partake in fantastic research groups. My experience goes from teaching computers how to find differential equations in nature to detecting subatomic particles coming from outside our galaxy! Beyond academics, I've had my fair share of fun playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends and dipping my toes in the Trading and Blockchain Clubs.

Going through college can be a stressful experience. On the one hand, it is a fantastic opportunity to grow out of your comfort zone and discover yourself. On the other hand, handling all this novelty at once is often overwhelming. Joining the Honors Program means you're not alone in this transition. You'll have a community to support you every step of the way — a haven to resort to during hard times and a family to rejoice in your achievements with. It is a place to inspire and be inspired to discover and become the best version of yourself.
