NCHC New Orleans

Last Thursday, my Biotechnology class and I toured Cerner's world headquarters (pictured below), and then I headed to the airport to catch a flight to New Orleans for the National Collegiate Honors Council's annual conference.  I was accompanied by two outstanding honors students and officers on our Honors Student Association Executive Board.  One of these students (Josh Goralski, pictured) presented a talk about the Executive Board's efforts to "put the 'fun' in honors fundraising" by working shifts at exciting events like the Warrior Dash and Color Run. We also had some obligatory French-Quarter time and Nick and Josh experienced real Cajun food, including multiple trips to Cafe du Monde for beignets.  And, of course, we returned feeling inspired and motivated to improve our honors program with ideas we gleaned from the conference sessions.  Good times.
