Congratulations to our four Honors Certificate Graduates. Having taken at least 12 hours of Honors courses, including Leadership Development, these students were the first in Honors Program history to earn the certificate and medallion.
Also, congratulations to the winners of the First Annual WCC Honors Program Poster/Presentation Session. The displays were interesting, students were engaging, and the feedback from administration, faculty, parents, and visitors was that you all did an outstanding job! Our winners were:
1st Place: Miranda Yelverton – Suicidal Poets
2nd Place: Nick Morris – Underrepresented Influences on Modern American Marriage
3rd Place: Sanjita Patel – Quantitative Water Quality Analysis of the Neuse River in Wayne County, NC
Congratulations to you all and thank you, students and faculty, for your work ethic and dedication to the program.

Students will have displays of their projects and work from the year set up at different tables around the room. Friends, family, faculty, and visitors can enjoy refreshments and mingle from table to table to have students explain their work. Later, we will celebrate the accomplishments of the year and present medallions to those who will graduate with the honors certificate this year.
