Dr. Mark Taylor, Dean of the Honors Institute, said honors students will enjoy more speakers, small classes, and the opportunity for travel.

“We’ll provide monies for students to travel internationally to show them they need to prepare to compete in a global marketplace,” said Taylor. “We want them to be involved in leadership roles in their communities, give them the opportunity to grow socially and personally, and take the opportunity to instill characteristics such as integrity and honor. We are pleased to have Judge Pickering speak to our students, as he represents a life lived with integrity and honor.”
