WELCOME TO SRHC

Welcome to the Southern Regional Honors Council website! I am honored and humbled to serve as the president of this organization.  We proudly support the Honors councils, faculty, staff, and students in 11 states across the southern region. As the first African American woman and representative from an historically black university (HBCU) to hold this position, it is my goal to make sure we are intentional in connecting with as many institution types and members as possible.

 

The signature event held by the SRHC is our annual conference, which is hosted by various institutions in the region. What makes our conference so special is that it is uniquely focused on student research across disciplines, to include STEM, the social sciences, business, and the humanities; we even include artistic performances and creative expressions. While I want us to continue this rich tradition, I also want to expand our reach to include engagement and resources throughout the year.

 

To that end, our executive director has been redesigning our website so we can begin developing digital resources on all things honors for our members.  In addition, we are working to create committees this year, some of which we will open up to professional and student members. These committees will focus on the membership, student affairs, awards and scholarships, and conference planning. By including more SRHC voices, we hope you will feel more invested in our organization and see the value of connecting with such a great community.

 

So, this coming year will be quite an engaging one. Granted, I am only in this position for one year, yet I am fortunate to have an amazing executive committee that is working to represent all of you so well.  Please know that I am here for all of you, I am accessible to all of you, and I will do my best to make this an amazing year for us all!
