New Honors Students complete Orientation on January 14^th

 

With the help of six  honors mentors—Emily Kilgore, Maggie Richardson, Bobby Markey, Jennifer Curfman, Adam Trimmer, and

Tom McArdle—over twenty new honors students completed a day-long orientation on Monday, January 14^th and were awarded their honors polo shirts in a graduation ceremony attended by Longwood’s Provost, Dr. Wayne McWee.  The day’s activities began over breakfast in Wheeler Hall with an overview of honors requirements and opportunities, then continued with a special program on the civil rights struggle in Prince Edward County, held at the Moton Museum. After lunch, participants spent 90 minutes completing a community service project at FACES, the local food pantry, followed by a return to Wheeler for a brief final exam and the graduation ceremony.  Please join us in welcoming the following new honors students:
