Beautiful Chapel Hill Margaret - on the go! Charlotte Brow, Brandon Jenkins, and Kathrn Spicer...keeping up with Margaret! A rest before the Admissions presentation Daniel, Johnny, Amanda, Jordan, and Nick...having way too much fun! The whole gang at The Center for the Study of the American South. (note: They are all saying "Go Wolfpack!") Alison, Shirlyn, Adrian, and Johnny look through pieces from the Wayne County & North Carolina special collections. Miranda, Amanda, and Nick - excited about their purchases from the UNC bookstore. Holly shows Johnny the books that she bought for her children. Ever the academic! Daniel, Brandon, Charlotte, and Johnny enjoy the pizza and the time to socialize at Pepper's. Ashley, Sanjita, Phillip, Miranda, and Margaret also enjoy the rest from all of the walking. Alison, Kathryn, and former WCC student, Carol, enjoy each other's company. We were happy to have Carol join us, as well as Margaret's daughter, Helen. Thanks to you both for offering personal insight on being a student at UNC! Jordan gives the entire trip a "thumb's up"! Miranda, Shirlyn, Holly, and Jordan hang out in the local coffee shop before the play. Where there's a Starbuck's, there are happy people! Here we are at the Paul Green Theater, preparing for Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie. The play was absolutely fantastic! Bravo...Bravo! ]]> http://wayneccfaculty.com/honors/2009/02/03/unc-trip/feed/ 4 The Honors Program of Wayne Community College http://wayneccfaculty.com/honors/2009/01/09/the-honors-program-of-wayne-community-college/ http://wayneccfaculty.com/honors/2009/01/09/the-honors-program-of-wayne-community-college/#comments Fri, 09 Jan 2009 02:22:09 +0000 honors http://wayneccfaculty.com/honors/?p=10 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.
