“Mind-Brightening” Experience of Alcorn Students and Faculty

On November 1-4th, 2006, thirteen Alcorn State University students and four faculty members attended the National Association of African American Honors Program (NAAAHP) conference in Columbia, South Carolina. Dr. Lee, Interim Dean, School of Graduate Studies, Dr. Jones, Director, Honors Curriculum Program Dr. Konecky, Assistant Director, Honors Curriculum Program, and Dr. Igwebuike, Assistant Professor, School of Business, were the professors that attended the meeting.

The main goal of this conference was for students to interact with other honor students, to gain experience and acquire more skills in communication. Some of the activities that were planned in this conference included a debate, a quiz bowl booth, and a Model African Union.

“The NAAAHP Conference is the annual get together of honor students and faculty and staff from members of HBCU around America. Students should attend this annual event because it is such an eye-brightening and mind-opening experience. It’ll bring friendships that’ll last for a lifetime and the skills and knowledge that you will only learn at the conference,” says Hong Loan Nguyen, a sophomore from Vietnam, Biology/Pre Med major.

The conference was a big success and the individuals that attended the conference, left with many wonderful experiences and the satisfaction of learning something new.
