The North Campus Orientation was a tremendous success. Being able to meet my fellow classmates and the people I will share the next two years of my life with was amazing because it gave me the opportunity to see the kind of driven people we are. Also, listening to current Honors College students gave us the opportunity to get a closer look as in to how the next two years will feel like at the North Campus.
It was an absolute honor to attend Remarks by President Obama on behalf of the Honors College. Being in an audience in front of a world leader and listening to his view on the healthcare system felt surreal. President Obama gave a speech on the Affordable Health Care Act where many students, press members, and others members of the audience will not forget.
On October 26, 2016 was the Honors College Induction Ceremony. The auditorium was filled with friends and family and many distinguished guests. Becoming officially a student at the Honors College was an honor and a privilege and receiving our pins was certainly the highlight of the night. We were engaged and enjoyed the night with speeches and performances.
At the 2016 Walk to End Alzheimer's many individuals came out to support a great cause and help the event prosper. Not only were there hundreds of people walking for a cause but many came out to volunteer and use their skills for a greater good. This event showcased what fun truly is while supporting a great cause. Allowing us to get this hands on experience and provide our full support for the event.
Stop the Stigma on Mental Illnesses event for NAMI was a success. Students were able to go to our different tables and learn what it is to be aware on mental illnesses. We provided educational pamphlets, administered quizzes, and gave sample scenarios. All to our amazement students came out and supported the issue and was very engaged. Meeting all sorts of students on campus showed how we can all support the issue and stop the stigma.
