There are some exciting changes in store for all students this coming fall, including an enhanced Honors Program. Several changes have been made in the program to allow for more customization for individual participants, as well as expanding the number of participants who may participate without it disrupting their four-year plan. If you are the parent of a new student or have a returning student who is interested in participating, the new structure is more flexible and allows for more participation from students than ever before.<\/p>\n

We have named a new director for the program, Meagan Stark, coordinator of academic support and co-director of the Honors Program. Dr. Troy Goodale, associate professor of political science and faculty moderator, will serve as faculty director. The two have, along with a team of dedicated faculty and staff who serve on the Honors Council, developed a new structure for the program over the course of the past year. The program, which was also developed to work with the new eight-week block schedule, promotes a cross-discipline dialogue between students that includes three core seminar courses. These courses are taught across the semester, every semester, to provide students ample opportunities to participate. The Honors courses we have developed are designed to be interesting courses that the instructors and students can be passionate about. The courses continue to be challenging courses, but participants will also gain experiences in other areas such as leadership and research. In addition to the main Honors courses, a core concentration course will be required in areas that include global awareness, peer leadership, civic engagement or research.<\/p>\n

Enrichment opportunities, such as the honors program, provide your young adult not just for graduation or just for their chosen career but for a life of opportunity for which they will be well prepared.<\/p>\n

Several recruitment events will be held on the Greeneville campus during the Advanced Registration period, and the application deadline will be January 15, 2017. Candidate interviews will be held in February and selections made on March 1. So, if you have a student interested in participating in our Honors program, I encourage you to contact Ms. Stark at mstark@tusculum.edu.<\/p>\n

Best Regards,<\/p>\n

Nancy B. Moody, PhD <\/em><\/h4>\n
