Congratulations and a big thank you to the newly installed members of the Student Advisory Council for the Honors Program and the President's Emerging Leaders Program! These young leaders have assumed the responsibility for any programming in the Honors Commons including speaker events, social events, and general activities. The SAC is an enormous help to the director in planning the wonderful events that enrich the lives our high-achieving students. Thanks again to all of these wonderful students!

Logan is an ideal Honors Program student. He has quietly been helping at least one student in his Introduction to Greek class by offering his time and talent to tutor this student. The student is enormously grateful and Logan deserves some high praise for giving his time so generously and for demonstrating what it means to be an Honors Program student!

Jacob Knight, reigning APSU Homecoming King, is a senior and a stalwart member of the President's Emerging Leaders Program. Jacob takes on numerous roles around the Honors Commons, including being my Peer Leader for PELP 1000 this term. He has now also taken the lead position to coordinate the annual PELP/Honors Formal Dance to be held in the spring. Coordinating this event involves a great deal of time and effort, and I am especially grateful to Jacob for serving as a mentor for the under-class members of what it means to be a leader 24/7. in addition to participating in PELP as a senior student and being my peer leader, Jacob is also a member of the Governor's Own Marching Band. He is active all over campus, so his help in the Honors Commons is especially appreciated. Jacob, high-five to you for walking the walk! Thank you for all that you do for Honors and PELP!
