Valdosta State University

Howdy all!  My name is Kristin Morrison, and I was born and raised in Valdosta, Georgia.  I am a graduate of Lowndes High School and currently a junior at Valdosta State University.  I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Mathematics here at Valdosta State.  Valdosta State University was the ideal college for me because I am very much a family person and was not ready to move away from them.  It also helped that by attending VSU, I am attending college for free due to the HOPE scholarship and the Odum Scholarship I received from Valdosta State.  I am a full-time college student working two part-time jobs.  One of my jobs is for Valdosta State University as a peer mentor for the Freshman Year Experience.  My second job is for the City of Valdosta as an activity leader for the After School Program at an elementary school here in Valdosta.  I enjoy both of my jobs and am acquiring a lot of experience in working with people my age, different professors, and school-age children. 

 

 

The Honors Program at Valdosta State

*Information from our website*
 

The Honors Program offers interdisciplinary seminars, a special track of core curriculum courses, and opportunities for independent research that lead to a Certificate in University Honors. The program is designed to provide for the stimulation and challenge of academically motivated students so that they achieve their full academic potential, while at the same time providing recognition for such students' endeavors. The Honors Program encourages connections between disciplines, interdisciplinary programs, innovative and unusual approaches to subject matter, and a reliance upon experiential learning that is fully integrated into the course content. The courses and seminars are designed to give all students in the Honors Program a shared intellectual experience in order to develop a community of learners and to encourage a spirit of collegiality in the pursuit of knowledge, a spirit that is essential for intellectual growth and personal fulfillment. Offerings include:

1) Limited-enrollment classes in anthropology, art, biology, chemistry, economics, health, history, literature and languages, mathematics, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. All of these courses satisfy core curriculum requirements, depending on the student's major.

2) Special honor seminars with an interdisciplinary focus. These explore a wide range of interesting, controversial, and timely issues. These seminars can satisfy elective credit in a variety of major degree programs.

Fora, a series of discussions and lectures led by faculty, visiting scholars, and distinguished members of the community.

The University Honors Program also sponsors the Honors Student Association, open to all students with a grade point average of 3.0. The Honors Program is affiliated with the National Collegiate Honors Council, the Southern Regional Honors Council, and the Georgia Collegiate Honors Council. These affiliations afford wide opportunity for travel to academic conventions and conferences.
