Honors Program Directors Kacy Tillman and Ryan Cragun recently took three UT students to the National Collegiate Honors Council conference in Atlanta. Two members of the Honors Council, Carla Shapira and Delaney Russell, attended the conference, along with Honors student Hanifah Griffith, who was presented a poster titled, “Do Honors Symposia Affect Student Beliefs, Values, and Behaviors? A Pre- and Post-Test Study”. We attended a number of sessions and enjoyed a number of meals together where we discussed what we were learning at the conference.
The conference was in downtown Atlanta, which meant it was quite close to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site. The five of us took some time late one afternoon to visit the site and learn more about the life and activism of Dr. King.
