I had the honor of attending the induction ceremony for new Honors Program members. While I 
have sponsored a couple of honors options with students, I didn't quite understand the program as well as I do now. Dr. Dan Martin is director of the program and showed a film (produced by a former honor's student) that explained the reason for such a program. The Honors program provides a way for students to challenge themselves beyond the regular curriculum--not unlike other areas like athel
etics, art or other extracurricular organizations. Dr. Saz Madison, professor of psychology also spoke at the ceremony; he is a former Rockhurst graduate and was an Honors student. Dr. Madison is a great role model for the kind of people this program can produce. Also at the cermony were several faculty, many of whom teach honors courses like Dr. Kovich and Dr. Sturgill. Congratulations to all 37 new Honors students and I hope they all challenge themselves to do things even they didn't imagine.
