Last Tuesday, I attended the Academic Excellence Convocation. Here, many honors students and students receiving departmental awards were honored. It was awesome to see just how many students have gone above and beyond during their time at ETSU. I thought it was great that many different family members and friends were there showing support for their student. Also, the speaker was very encouraging for the near-graduates. As an honors student, I cannot wait to be in their shoes in about three years.
