Augusta University Honors Program

03/30/2021

Congratulations to the 23 students who presented research at the Georgia Collegiate Honors Council conference earlier this month. Augusta University had by far the largest contingent of student presenters. We also had two students win awards for the essays on which they presented. Colby Gross won second place (and a substantial gift card) in the Social Sciences category, and Elyse Garrett won first place (and an even more substantial gift card) in the same category.

Thank you to Dr. Maynard and Dr. Bryant for helping in encouraging students to apply, we appreciate your dedication to these students!

We will be hosting a “Bring Your Own Blanket Picnic” on Friday, March 26th in the grassy area right in front of the Quad Wall Honors building to announce the new HPSA board and the winner of the design contest. We will be providing food and drinks, as well as a chance to win prizes from local businesses.

Due to social distancing guidelines, we will be holding two sessions limited to 50 students per session. Sessions will be from 1:00-1:45 PM and 1:45-2:30 PM. If you would like to attend this event you must RSVP for one, and only one, of the times, by following the links sent to your AU emails. You may check out as a guest, but you must use your Augusta email in the contact information.
