This past summer, Jordyn Harper, an Honors College senior majoring in film and media with a minor in public policy, was selected to participate in the 2026 Critical Language Scholarship Program (CLS). Since childhood, Jordyn has wanted to learn as many languages as possible and been fascinated by Japanese culture. Much of Jordyn’s studying of Japanese has been outside the classroom, learning through library resources and apps. Jordyn previously participated in CLS Spark, an online instruction program.

For the CLS Japan program, Jordyn spent two months in Okayama undertaking intensive Japanese language courses. In addition, Jordyn traveled throughout Okayama as well as to Yakage and Teshima Island to learn about the sustainability issues those communities face. The CLS students interviewed locals and delivered presentations, including one Jordyn did comparing the Okayama train station to MARTA’s Five Points station.

Congratulations, Jordyn, on your time in Japan and being GSU’s latest Critical Language Scholar!

This past summer, Honors College senior and psychology major Ana de la Torre y Estrada traveled to China for a GSU study abroad program. She chose China because the country has been a dream destination for a long time. Ana has been studying the Mandarin language since researching Chinese culture in high school. She not only saw different cultural landmarks such as The Great Wall and The Palace Museum, but also experienced cultural activities such as the Chinese Beijing Opera, traditional Chinese tea and Tai Chi.

Ana's biggest takeaway from this experience was that the Chinese people she met were some of the nicest, kindest and most enthusiastic people she has ever encountered. She noted, "if you ever get the chance to go, please do so. You will not regret choosing China as your destination."

Ana will return to East Asia this fall, traveling to and studying in Taiwan.

Welcome back, Ana, and safe travels to your next destination!

To our new Honors families: thank you for trusting us to be part of your students' journey. We look forward to supporting them as they learn, grow and discover what's possible.

In mid-June, Honors alum Supriya Marwaha (Class of 2026, BBA, Finance) attended Harvard Business School's (HBS) Summer Venture Management Program, a highly selective pre-MBA experience. Supriya was the only attendee representing GSU.

Through the program's Harvard Case Method, she analyzed challenges in AI, healthcare, social venture capital, crisis management and data analytics alongside peers from consulting, hedge funds, entrepreneurship and nonprofit leadership.

One of the program's highlights was learning directly from HBS faculty, gaining unique insights into leadership and decision-making. Outside the classroom, Supriya explored the Harvard campus and the surrounding Cambridge area.

Inspired by a community of intellectually curious and impact-driven changemakers, Supriya strengthened her commitment to using business as a force for positive change and gained a deeper appreciation for the value of diverse perspectives, openness to new ideas and the power of making an impact beyond perceived limitations.

Congratulations, Supriya, and great job representing GSU!

This April, Honors College student Samuel Oriola attended the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in Richmond, Virginia. His NCUR participation was made possible by a Just-in-Time grant from the Emeriti Association, which supports Georgia State Honors College students with their research efforts.

At the conference, Samuel presented his research, connected with others working in his major (data science) and learned about graduate programs at top institutions. Samuel returned home inspired by the innovative research happening across the country and the encouraging conversations with those who visited his poster... and the welcoming community that made each day at the conference memorable!

Beyond the conference, Samuel explored Richmond’s culture through its restaurants, trails, historic sites and local businesses. Overall, it was an incredible experience that supported his professional and personal growth.

In addition to presenting at NCUR, Samuel was also the student speaker at the Emeriti Association Spring Luncheon and delivered a presentation at TEDxGeorgiaStateU.

Congratulations, Samuel, on such an impressive semester and keep up the great work!
