Please join us honoring Dr. Rita Barnes at her retirement reception Tuesday, August 20, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. in Derryberry Hall 200.
Dr. Barnes started her 33-year career as an English adjunct in 1991 transitioning to permanent Director of the Honors Program in 2009. Barnes has presided over numerous advances to the program.
According to one graduate, “The Honors Program is the common thread which runs through my most cherished friendships, strongest relationships with professors, and most impactful academic experiences.”
