Facilitators
Jeff Chamberlain, University of North Florida
Jeff Chamberlain has been in university honors education for over 20 years, and has run programs as small as 40 and as large as 1700. He started his academic career teaching history at a small Catholic college near Chicago (the University of St. Francis), and started an honors program there in the late 1990s. It was at USF that he learned how much he enjoyed recruiting honors students and that he could be quite successful at it. He left USF in 2007 to become director of the Frederik Meijer Honors College at Grand Valley State University (a large public university) near Grand Rapids, Michigan. In the ten years he was at GVSU, he grew the program from under 1000 to 1700 while maintaining the small, personal feel. He engaged his students with the national conference and was president of the Mid-East Honors Association for several years. Chamberlain became dean of the Hicks Honors College at the University of North Florida in 2017, and has already seen the college grow in enrollment by 55%, while also increasing retention and graduation rates. He is also an NCHC-approved program review consultant.
Aaron Hanlin, Seminole State College of Florida
Aaron Hanlin has served as the Director of the Grindle Honors Institute at Seminole State College of Florida since May 2017. In his position, he is responsible for all aspects of the two-year and four-year honors programs including admissions, curriculum, faculty development, and more. Since joining Seminole State, Aaron has consistently increased first-time-in-college enrollment in addition to honors retention and completion.
Prior to joining Seminole State, he was the Director of Admissions and Scholarships at the Kent State University Honors College where he recruited the largest and highest-achieving freshman classes in KSU history year after year. He had previously served as an honors academic advisor at KSU and is an alumnus of the Kent State University Honors College.
Aaron has been an actively involved member of the National Collegiate Honors Council having attended and presented at the annual conference each year since 2013. He currently serves on the NCHC Professional Development and Two-Year College Committees and has previously served as the president of the Mid-East Honors Association (MEHA - 2014) and president of the Florida Collegiate Honors Council (FCHC – 2020).
