Several honors students from Freed-Hardeman University attended and participated in the state honors conference at East Tennessee State University, Feb. 18-19. Four FHU students presented research topics exemplifying honors quality scholarship based on their interests and studies at FHU.
Kyle Wiser, a senior business management major, presented information concerning his experience on the Clayton Investment Team, dealing with big money investments in a real-life situation. Marianne Sansom, a nursing major, discussed fetal alcohol syndrome and its devastating effects. Josh Barber, the chair of the Honors College and a junior international business major, brought special attention to Asian discrimination in 20th century America. Davis Shoulders, a freshman English major, analyzed John Donne’s “La Corona” and the criticisms of Samuel Johnson.
Members of the FHU Honors College take advantage of many opportunities to travel and broaden their horizons. Josh Barber, having attended several trips, said, “Honors trips are always a lot of fun. They’re wonderful opportunities to get to know other Honors College students, and they’re great learning experiences.”
