The National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC), the national organization for all honors programs and colleges in post-secondary education (over 900 institutions), hosted its 50th annual meeting in Chicago, Nov. 11-15, 2015. Drs. Jones and Waldroup represented the APP Honors College at the meeting in three different sessions. Dr. Waldroup led a roundtable discussion on “Honors Cut-Out Sections: A Useful Middle Ground,” and Dr. Jones gave an invited presentation on the advantages and challenges of trying to transition from an honors program to college in a session entitled “Assessing the Institutional Impact of Honors.” Dr. Jones also was an invited consultant during one of the NCHC Consultant Center sessions; these useful settings provide an opportunity for honors staff to consult with others on specific issues they may have with their honors programs.
