NCHC Boston

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take 5 (yes, 5!) members of our Honors Student Association Executive Board to Boston with me for the annual National Collegiate Honors Council conference.  There were close to 2000 attendees, and 15 concurrent sessions every 45 minutes all day for three days.  We decided to divide and conquer, so we split up and tried to attend as many talks of interest as we could.  We were able to bring back tons of great ideas, some of which we hope to implement here in the Rockhurst Honors Program.  We also gave two talks (I served on a panel that discussed Honors Programs at Jesuit institutions, and two of our students (pictured) presented about their trip to Haiti and how it could be transformed into the experiential portion of an interdisciplinary honors course).  We also had to visit a few Boston landmarks like Fenway Park.
