Article By: Clark Leonard
Students and faculty with the University of North Georgia's (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) Honors Program hosted the Georgia Collegiate Honors Conference from Feb. 23-24 at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's Dahlonega Campus, and one student won a research award.
Dr. Anastasia Lin, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 assistant vice president of Academic Affairs and Honors Program director, served as faculty vice president of the Georgia Collegiate Honors Council, while senior Jami Nakan served as student vice president of the Georgia Collegiate Honors Council. Nakan and Lin planned the statewide event in collaboration with a team of volunteers from the Honors Program as well as Lillie Holtzclaw, administrative assistant for Honors and McNair.
In addition to hosting the conference, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 had 33 students present their research at the event.
"A huge congratulations to the 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 students who showcased their excellent research throughout the day. And another huge congrats to Jami and the student group who planned the event. They led the charge from writing the call for papers all the way to creating and arranging our program," Lin said. "We were thrilled to welcome students from across the state to 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 and help them see what makes 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 special: our outstanding students."
Hailey Pruitt, a junior from Sugar Hill, Georgia, pursuing a degree in chemistry with a biochemistry concentration, won Best STEM Essay and shared a poster on her essay, "Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis: Novel autoantibodies and their implications relative to classification."
"I enjoyed the connected, interdisciplinary feel of the conference," Pruitt said. "I was able to hear from a lot of different people."
Isabella Fordham Neuwirth, a sophomore from Cumming, Georgia, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, served on the 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Honors Program committee that planned the event and also presented a poster. With students in fields ranging from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to the humanities and arts, the preparation required attention to detail.
"We had to make sure we covered all the bases so every student was able to have all the resources they needed and have the best experience they could," Fordham Neuwirth said.
Nakan, a Johns Creek, Georgia, native who is pursuing a degree in biology with pre-medicine academic advisement, was grateful to bring together 99 student presentations from a total of 14 universities across Georgia.
"It was a wonderful working with Dr. Lin and the planning committee. 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 students are incredibly welcoming. I am amazed at how students from so many diverse fields of study were able to work so well together at this conference," Nakan said.
