Facilitators: 
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.  Kathleen King, Hillsborough Community College
Kathleen King has been Director of Hillsborough Community College Honors Program in Tampa, Florida since 2015. She has served two terms on the NCHC Board of Directors, contributed to NCHC Partners in the Parks since its inception, and currently serves on the NCHC Finance Committee.  Jennifer Schlegel, Kutztown University
Jennifer Schlegel has been director of Kutztown University Honors Program since 2018. She has paid particular attention to the recruitment and retention of external transfers. Working closely with a variety of campus divisions, she has revised Honors admissions criteria to create pathways into honors that center DEI initiatives and respond to pandemic concerns. She has participated in numerous NCHC professional development opportunities and has presented at the NCHC conference. When not focused on Honors, she happily participates as an anthropologist in her home department.
