The key to the success of the Honors College is its people. With such fine, hard-working colleagues we take every opportunity to celebrate, and today was no exception. It was the birthday of Stacey Ready, our coordinator of general honors, so presents and a picture were certainly in order.
Pictured above are Paula Mathis, assistant to the dean for senior honors; Kendall Yates, Honors Forum coordinator and graduate assistant; Stacey, whose formal title is assistant to the dean for general honors; Debbie Haskin, administrative assistant; and Peggy Varnado, our national scholarship officer.
What an incredible group of colleagues. Our students, the College, and certainly I are lucky to have them! Their friendliness, competence, student-centeredness, and good nature make them a dream to work with.
One incredibly important person missed the picture (she was in class). She's Patricia "Bunny" Simmons, our second graduate assistant. She and Kendall are the most capable grad assistants on campus.
