WCC Honors Program

The Honors Program of Wayne Community College

Posted By honors on January 9, 2009

We celebrated our inaugural semester in August of 2008, and we strive to help students of high academic achievement reach their potential in the classroom. We also incorporate leadership development and service learning into our curriculum and work to make our Honors program a positive, safe, and stimulating learning community.

The pictures below chronicle some of the activities that our students participated in during the first semester of our Honors program.

Honors Students help children learn to serve their own communities. Sanjita, Connie, Adrienne, and Alison used a national grant awarded through Volunteer Wayne for Family Volunteer Day to help children in underdeveloped neighborhoods reach out to elderly neighbors.

Children hug mentor in celebration after delivering flowers to elderly neighbors.

Connie holds a child's hand while walking through the neighborhood to deliver flowers. WCC students spent several days with the children, getting better acquainted before the actual delivery date.

Connie holds a child's hand as they visit neighbors and discuss the pizza party celebration to follow.

In November, Honors students visited East Carolina University to tour the campus, speak with admissions representatives, and see a play at Loessin Playhouse.
