The ӣ is home to the Delores and Weldon Cole Honors College. Its mission is to provide students with a great college experience that translates into postgraduate success. The College is full of many students with different majors, backgrounds, and aspirations.
As a student in the Cole Honors College myself, I am writing a series of student profiles on other students in the College and how their time at UNA and as an Honors student is preparing them for future success.
Adam Kendrick is a junior majoring in computer science with a minor in math. Here he is in his own words.
Q: Why did you choose to come to UNA?
A: I chose UNA because I could see that there were many opportunities for me to grow and develop in both myself and also in my career.
Q: If you were to give your younger self advice about coming to college, what would you say?
A: If I were to give my younger self any advice it would be to pursue what you have an interest in both inside and outside of school.
Q: What drew you to Honors? Why did you want to join?
I was drawn to Honors because I knew it would set me above others in my field and give my access to resources that others wouldn’t have.
Q: If you were to tell someone to join the Honors College, what would you say?
