Honors Northeast, the honors program of 乱色无码人妻视频影院, recently continued its tradition of success among its peers in the Great Plains Honors Council with the poster awards of William Jones and Gabriela Quezada.鈥燡ones won the behavioral science division of those with fewer than 60 hours of college completed, while the 乱色无码人妻视频影院 sophomore, Gabriela Quezada, won in the professional division for those with more than 60 hours.鈥犫犅疑蘼肴似奘悠涤霸 won two of the six poster awards given at the meeting.鈥犫犫燡ones and Quezada both were awarded $50 prizes.
Some 50 honors colleges and programs, from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas were represented at the conference earlier this month, hosted this year by the Honors Programs of John Brown University and Oral Roberts in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.鈥犫燭he conference spotlights student research, and this year granted a total of twelve awards for the two categories.
?William Jones has been an amazingly proactive scholar for us,? Honors Program Director, Dr. Andrew Yox, said. ?I would contend that we will be hearing more about his meticulous research and unique conceptualizing skills.鈥燝abriela Quezada, came to us from El Salvador and learned calculus and modern history about as fast as she learned English.鈥燬he is a also wonderful artist.?
Jones? work featured the case of Dutch Luman, a ?Texas Quasi-Criminal? whose life informs the current debate on mass incarceration.鈥犫燡ones argued that a century ago, the state of Texas found a way to distinguish a vigilante from an intractable criminal, and utilize Luman as a top law-enforcement officer.鈥犫燪uezada worked assiduously through a file on the Texas Centennial of 1936 that was donated to Honors Northeast by Margaret Durham of Mount Pleasant, a former teacher.鈥犫燪uezada, using a study in her freshman year of El Salvador?s leadership as a baseline, argued that Dallas businessmen engaged in an ?identity heist? in 1936, an effort to edit the Texas past. The controversial business elite of Dallas who later inspired the prime-time soap opera of that name, consciously trivialized the state?s Hispanic, early Texican, and populist traditions.
William, homeschooled in Mount Pleasant, is the son of Geri and Craig Jones.鈥犫燞e was a major force behind this year?s award-winning honors film on the Fergusons of Texas.鈥犫燝abriela is the daughter of Elba and Emelic Quezada of Pittsburg.鈥犫燬he was the 2014-15 Cypress Bank Scholar of Honors Northeast.
Eight scholars and Northeast professors Drs. Mary Hearron and Yox attended the conference representing 乱色无码人妻视频影院.鈥犫犅疑蘼肴似奘悠涤霸 Boe nominees Emmalea Shaw, and Jessica Velazquez gave oral presentations of their work on integration in Northeast Texas, and anesthesia in the Civil War.鈥犫燬haw was a recent third-place Caldwell Award winner, and Velazquez, a recent Student of the Year semi-finalist for the National Collegiate Honors Council.鈥燨ther 乱色无码人妻视频影院 scholars presented their work in poster format.鈥犫燭his included Caldwell winners Melody Mott, and Hector Zuniga as well as Cailee Davidson, and Kassandra Martinez.
The trip to Siloam Springs came with excursions to some surprisingly upbeat sites in northwest Arkansas--Bentonville, the new Cooper Chapel, and Crystal Bridges art museum, funded by the Walton family
