Emory Lindquist Honors Scholar

The Emory Lindquist Honors Scholar Track allowed me to take classes like "Race, Racism and Social Justice" and "Dynamic Universe" as requirements for my track while still pursuing leadership ideas through Honors "Leadership Challenge" and "Leadership in Self and Society." Many of the students and faculty I met through all of these courses became close friends and mentors, and I developed many diverse interests.
