Cormier Honors College
My membership in the Cormier Honors College has given me countless opportunities here as Longwood University. I have befriended dozens of Longwood students due to my involvement in the Cormier Honors College, and it has given me countless opportunities to give back to the Longwood community and town of Farmville. The Cormier Honors College also focuses on the importance of scholarship. Honors students must maintain a 3.25 GPA in Honors coursework, maintain a 3.25 GPA overall, complete a Longwood approved and credit-bearing study abroad program, complete eight honors courses before graduation, and complete a senior-level e-portfolio.

Dean’s List
I have made the Dean’s List every semester that I have attended Longwood University.
Nursing Peer Tutor
In the Fall of my senior year I applied to become a nursing tutor. I got the job and spent the semester tutoring sophomore nursing students. This was a great experience, as it allowed me to form a bond with some younger students in the nursing program, give some insight on how to best approach difficulties they were having in their classes, and help them better understand the information that they were learning in their classes.
Publication in Incite: The Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship
In March, 2018, I was informed that an essay that two of my peers and I wrote titled “Effects of Intergenerational Daycares: Parents’ Perception of Early Childhood Socialization with Elderly Populations,” was selected to be published in Longwood’s annual issue of Incite: The Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship. Our essay also received the second-place award.
