Eight honors students presented their research at the Southern Regional Honors Conference in Montgomery, Alabama. All were poster presentations — some stemming from thesis work and some originating from Honors courses. It was a record number of acceptances! We also made time to visit the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and to see some of the sites downtown.
Being able to travel to the American Chemical Society conference in Atlanta, Georgia was an incredible opportunity. Lasting five days, this conference brought in practitioners and researchers from across the nation together to discuss advancements happening within the field. Presenting my research provided me with the opportunity to network and speak about a topic that I am passionate about. I also had some time to explore the city, notably the Georgia Aquarium. Overall, being able to attend this conference was an opportunity that I am especially grateful for, which would not have been possible without funding from both the College of Natural and Health Sciences (CNHS) and the Honors Program.

Attending the Cancer Research and Development Conference in Boston, Massachusetts was an amazing opportunity to enrich my education and gain exposure to cutting edge research, some of which was unreleased data to the public. Being able to talk with MD, PhD caliber researchers with years of clinical exposure was not only inspiring but very useful to see their approaches to fighting cancer. I’m extremely grateful to the College of Natural Health Sciences and the Honors Program for enabling me to attend this international conference.
