What Our Attendees Say

“My conference highlight was meeting so many people similar to me, as well as attending all of the poster sessions and learning about what everyone was so passionate and knowledgeable about. I love seeing other people's passion; this was the perfect place.”

~ NCHC23
Attendee

“Many times in honors at smaller institutions, you feel like you are on an island. Attending a national conference makes you truly feel like you are a part of something bigger. The overall energy, excitement, and information you learn motivates you to bring that back to your own institution and inspire others interest in honors.”

~ NCHC23
Professional Attendee

“The City as Text event [was my highlight]. [It] was a great way to learn more about other students/faculty from around the nation, as well as have everyone take in our environment in our own way. Great networking and learning experience.”
