Hey Everyone!
Welcome to the newly formed Honors Council Blog! It is with great honor that I share the Honors Newspaper has become virtual. Throughout the semester, our team will create content about the research our wonderful students are completing, introduce you to various Honors faculty, and even highlight some of the events the Honors Council helps to put on for everyone.
Having been completely uprooted after Spring Break, the Spring 2020 newsletter was, unfortunately, never published. We hope that through this blog we can help shine a spotlight on all of the wonderful events each honors member is taking advantage of!
Traditionally, each newsletter begins with a Director’s welcome, so allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brianna Johnson, a senior Data Science Student. I first began my Honors journey four years ago and quickly found myself applying to be the Associate Student Director as a Freshmen. Although my tenure as Director is almost finished, I can’t help but reflect on all of the changes and opportunities that have been created throughout my time on the Honors Council.
Between the countless Game Nights, Paint Nights, and our famous Six Flags Trips, I have been able to meet so many of our amazing students and connect with individuals who I may have otherwise never crossed paths with. The biggest change, however, has been with the conversion of the Honors Program to an Honors College. This change has created so many more opportunities that I know will only continue to grow after my time here on campus. My hope is that through this blog, and the many other wonderful events our faculty and Honors Council are creating, everyone in the Honors College will find areas of collaboration and inspiration!
Please feel free to browse through this blog, share with friends, or even send your own submission ideas to umassdhonors@gmail.com! If you would like to help out in creating content on this blog, please feel free to reach out or drop by an Honors Council meeting, which is every Tuesday night at 6pm. I sincerely hope that you enjoy viewing all of the opportunities available as an honors student and find your contributions being included throughout your time at UMass Dartmouth!
Sincerely,
Brianna Johnson
Student Director
