Honors Students Present Their Undergraduate Research at the Northeast Regional Honors Council Conference
After two years of virtual events, Honors students hit the road again, in this case the railroad, to present their work at the Northeast Regional Honors Council 2022 conference in Philadelphia. The conference theme this year, A More Perfect Union: Creating and Restoring Community in An Age of Disruption , saw many interpretations over the four days of the event. The keynote speaker on the opening evening, Pulitzer-Prize Winner Dr. Heather Thompson, discussed her book Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 , detailing her 13 -year journey to peel back the layers of a massive govern- ment and law enforcement cover-up about the bloodiest day in American prison history. Her message of inquiry and explo- ration set the tone for the remainder of the conference. The City as Text filled the
microscope slide with part of Einstein’s brain mounted on it. After all of the activities of the first two days, it was good to stay in the conference hotel on the third day to enjoy the presentations the Honors students had prepared for the occasion. CCAC students Bridget Connolly, Ashika Henry Richardson, Aodhán Ridenour, and Max Russo presented their work in sessions during the day. Jason Gomes participated virtually, presenting his paper via Zoom. Of course, CCAC Honors students stood out as the best of the day among their peers from 2-year and 4-year institutions. To celebrate their phenomenal success, the CCAC contingent dressed up and attended the Student Gala that night on the top floor of the hotel. They enjoyed a panoramic view of downtown Philadelphia as they enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres, got their pictures taken in the photo booth, and danced the night away while a DJ provided the music. The group arrived back in Pittsburgh on Sunday night tired but inspired by the experience and excited that the event is scheduled to be held in Pittsburgh next year. As you work on Honors Contracts and complete projects for Honors classes,
second day, allowing students to explore Philadelphia follow- ing various tracks. CCAC students took advantage of a variety of opportunities. One track took students from Philadelphia to Camden, New Jersey, where they explored the complex relationship between Walt Whitman and the institution of slavery. They saw historical markers of the slave trade, places where black slaves were bought and sold,
and Walt Whitman’s footprint around the city and on the campus of Rutgers University. The track concluded with a panel discussion with the campus Walt Whitman committee and lunch with campus leaders. A second track allowed students to volunteer with Pathways to Housing PA to assist their Philadelphia Furniture Bank. These students came back to the hotel tired and a little dusty, but proud of the work they had done to open housing oppor- tunities that offer alternatives to shelters and transitional housing. The third track CCAC Honors students traveled took them to visit the Mütter Museum, a medical history museum founded in 1863 that contains fascinating collections of anatomical specimens, models, and medical instruments. Highlights of the day included a display of tattoos preserved in liquid and a
keep in mind the possibility for presenting your work at next year’s Northeast Regional Honors Council conference.

Virtual Honors Forum Celebrates our Honors Graduates, Faculty, and Awardees By Professor Stephen Wells * South Campus Honors Coordinator
The annual Honors Forum took place via Zoom again this year, but the virtual format did nothing to diminish the satisfac- tion and pride Honors students and faculty took in a job well done. Attendees kept the chat window busy with messages of congrat- ulations as fellow members of the Honors family presented summaries of their work and received a variety of awards and honors for their accomplishments. After opening remarks from CCAC President Dr. Quintin Bullock, Bridget Connolly started
and Maxine Russo concluded this portion of the program with an overview of this year ’ s Honors Program activities, the NRHC con- ference, and service. It has been an incredi- bly busy, but at the same time an incredibly rewarding, semester. Then the awards began. This year, 39 Honors Faculty taught 12 honors courses and mentored 34 honors contracts. Honors pins went to 44 Honors Students who either earned their first Honors credit this year or who attended their first Honors Forum since
the presentations with a summary of her Honors Contract from Children ’ s Literature with professor Zachary Cox entitled “ Grief and Loss in Children ’ s Literature. ” The project explored the importance of bibliotherapy in clinical, home, and school settings to help children recover from trauma. Jason Gomes continued with highlights from his Honors contract in Introduction to Biology with Professor Stacey Damm titled “ T Cell and CAR - T Therapies in Human Cancer Treatments and Their Potential for Translative Application in Animal Health. ” His project examined new cancer treatments for humans and the way these treatments might extend to use in animals. The Honors Alumni Speaker followed. Alexis Schnepp, a former Lead- ership in Honors Scholar for CCAC North Campus who graduated in 2016 with an Associate's Degree in Nursing, followed with her observations about the value of the Honors experience in a presenta- tion titled "The Honors Impact Outside of the Classroom." She shared the ways her non - academic Honors experiences, including ziplining, rock climbing, and her first airplane trip, helped her overcome insecu- rities (she is afraid of heights!) and how the confidence she developed translated to her career in nursing. She closed by telling attendees she regrets the events she missed, but has no regrets about the events she attended. Honors faculty member Ashley Ferrainolo then delivered her remarks, entitled “ Never Stop Learning. ” She described her use of the TED Talk format in her Honors Oral Communications class and shared her own experience of rediscovering the joy of learning as she listened to the speeches her students presented. She reminded attendees to stay curious, to be open to new ideas because as long as we are willing to learn, life is ready to teach.

earning their first Honors credit. Ten students earned a hoodie for completing the Honors Hat Trick by earning at least three Honors credits, participating in at least one Honors activity, and contributing to the success of one Honors service project in one semester. Two students earned the honor for a second time this year, and they received Honors travel mugs. Dr. Stuart Blacklaw, CCAC Provost/Executive Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, presented pins and certificates for the Honors Program Service Award winners. Megan Bowe raised $315 for the Homeless Children ’ s Education Fund through the BINGO fundrais- er. Nicole Galla raised $60 for the BINGO fundraiser for the Homeless Children ’ s Education Fund and volunteered at the live donor drive for Be the Match for Jax. Finally, Bridget Sluka raised $200 for Be the Match for Jax service project. The awards program concluded with the awarding of Honors cords and Honors medallions. Fifty - five CCAC Honors students will have the honor of walking across the commencement stage wearing Honors cords, marking them as having graduated with Honors credits on their transcripts. Nine students will have the added distinction of graduat- ing with Honors Degrees, qualifying them to also wear Honors medallions at commencement. Dr. Bullock presented the degrees and medallions and reminded students that CCAC will have an in - person commencement at Heinz Field this year. Following the formal program, attendees gathered in the virtual lobby to congratulate one another, exchange contact information, and say good byes after their years of camaraderie and scholarship. We wish all Honors graduates the best of luck in their future endeavors, whatever they may be. We also encourage them to keep in touch with CCAC Honors. We will miss you, but we cannot wait to see the good you do in the world.
Weekdays 9:00am – 1:00pm
Honors students work hard every semester in Honors courses, Honors contracts, service projects, and other activities both school and Honors related. Schoolwork can be draining, and in these recent times of COVID - 19 we ’ ve been inhibited from enjoying normal socialization with those around us. Our Boyce Honors Hub provides a space for our Honors students to gather and socialize with each other, a space for students to connect or decompress when they need. Our Hub is brand new as of the Fall of 2021, and it contains the office of the Boyce Honors coordinator, Scott Mayberry, a lounge area, the Honors classroom that will be used for any Honors courses offered on Boyce, and even a kitchen! It ’ s the perfect place for students to hang out, heat up some food, and enjoy a safe space during a break in their day. School supplies such as writing supplies, paper, a printer and desktop, staplers, and more are also available to be used in our Hub!
At it ’ s core, our Hub is for students and aims to provide any support or comfort an Honors student may need during their semesters. COVID has affected us all, and the amount of on - campus work is just one of many aspects. With more in - person integration being discussed for future semesters, we hope to meet new and familiar faces in our Hub very soon!

Honors at CCAC ends the spring semester in a flurry of activity. We began with spring Kick - Off Orientation exposing students to all aspects of Honors. Students attended two of the Literary Evening Monday Night Lecture Series – Ayad Akhtar ’ s Homeland Elgies and George Saunders ’ s A Swim in a Pond in the Rain followed by post - lecture discussions via zoom. After two years, students attended the Pittsburgh Opera, Carmen and PNC Broadway, To Kill a Mockingbird in person. Our spring hike at the beautiful Mingo Creek Park immersed our faculty and students in nature.
Professor Juanita Plaskon ’ s Field Trip, Animal Encounter Seminar at the Pittsburgh Zoo, gave our biology students a first - hand look at how the Pittsburgh Zoo cares for animals behind the scenes at two animal exhibits. Students also learned about conservation biology and had the chance to explore the Zoo on their own. North Campus Honors Coordinator, Ashleigh Fox, organized the first ever collaborative undergraduate research conference between Westmoreland County Community College (WCCC) and CCAC where students from both institutions presentedtheir research.
Our Honors Leadership Assistants chose Be the Match for Jax as the spring community service project. At the information panel event, Jax ’ s mother did an excellent presentation on inequities in our healthcare and explained her commitment to diversify the bone marrow pool. Her emotional appeal was deeply touching and inspiring. The LA ’ s organized live drives at all the four CCAC campuses swabbing 100 students for the registry and raising $303. My Honors Leadership class students volunteered at the Oakland Food Pantry apart from distributing about 50 useful kits to the frontline homeless people.
South Campus Honors Coordinator Steve Wells and I accompanied four Honors students to the Northeast Regional Honors Council (NRHC) Annual Conference in Philadelphia. Our students shared their research, and their presentations were outstanding. Students also actively participated in all the conference events making CCAC proud. Ashika Henry - Richardson won the minority scholarship, and Aodhán Ridenour was given the best student participant award. To close a busy and rewarding year, Honors at CCAC celebrated our students and faculty at the annual Honors Forum on April 29. We were honored to have President Dr. Quintin Bullock give opening remarks and present medallions to Honors graduates. Dr. Blacklaw presented service awards recognizing students who made exceptional contributions to service. Also, Honors pins were given to those earning their first credit in Honors, Honors cords and medallions to our graduates, and Honors travel mugs to our Honors faculty. Selected students presented their Honors research projects, and the Honors LAs shared their experiences. I would like to pay tribute to our Allegheny Campus Honors Coordinator, Joe Delphia, who is leaving the Honors Council. Honors at CCAC has benefitted from his insight, creativity, enthusiasm and deep commitment to the program and the students. He organized amazing field trips to Fallingwater and local museums, and traveled to India twice with students. My heartfelt thanks to the Honors community at CCAC for an incredibly enriching year! — Srujana Kanjula Honors Night at the Opera

Honors Leadership Assistants Choose Innovation and Creativity By Joseph Delphia, Allegheny Campus Honors Coordinator As the semester
comes to a close I am reflecting on this fifth semester of academic life to be changed and shaped by the pandemic. By now we are all used to

adapting, to finding ways to just “make it work,” to get as close as possible to “what could have been,” if only the situation were a little better. It can be easy to see the ways things have changed since March of 2020, and that can be discouraging. However, if we keep our eyes open, I hope we can also see the innovation and creativity this new way of living and learning has inspired. This year’s Honors Leadership Assistants have done a wonderful job executing their duties. They have planned and participated in events, supported Honors coordinators and students at their campuses, and lived up to their titles as Honors leaders. One particular program they envisioned, planned and executed shows the kind of innovation and creativity I spoke of earlier. The Artistic Entrepreneurship Speaker Series was created to provide students with perspective into a variety of topics related to achieving success as a creative entrepreneur. The five part series was completely planned and executed by the Honors Leadership Assistants, and was attended by 90 individuals from the CCAC community. CCAC Honors has never presented a program quite like this one, and in a time when it is all too easy to tread water and wait for the tide to settle, this team chose to take a risk and try some- thing totally new. Ashika Henry Richardson, Aodhán Ridenour, and Max Russo chose to use their time as Leadership Assistants to lead, to think creatively and to try something the Honors Program had never done before. In the 13 years I have been involved with the Honors Program I have learned to always bet on Honors students to surprise and inspire, and these three have done just that. I know we all are looking forward to brighter days ahead, but thanks for taking a moment to allow me to share what I see as a true moment of brightness from the Spring of 2022.
To Kill a Mockingbird
NRHC Annual Conference
Each semester, we highlight a few active Honors students for the Word of Honor newsletter.
Do you have any special interests/ hobbies? I'm a mixed media artist who en- joys working in acrylics, colored pencil, and, most recently, embroi- dery! Over the past two years, I've developed an interest in watching and reviewing films. In addition, I love to write, read, and bake good- ies with my little sister! What is your favorite book/ author?
What are your educational goals/transfer plans? I plan on transferring to the University of Pittsburgh in the Fall of 2023 in order to get my Bachelors degree in Public & Professional Writing and minor in Film Studies. While I'm there, I also might pursue a Certificate degree program. What are your career goals? I plan on becoming an editor for a book publisher (haven't decid- ed which one yet!) Through this career path, I hope to make con- nections in the book publishing world that will allow me to one day publish my own series of sci - fi fantasy novels. Tell us about your Honors course or Honors contract for this semester: I'm doing an Honors contract for my Creative Writing course this semester. It's titled "Reader as Writer" and is centered around emulating the styles of four distinct authors across the creative nonfiction, poetry, short fiction and drama genres. This project will be a digital portfolio comprised of annotations of the au- thors' works, reflections on their styles and four original pieces that utilize the various literary devices in their arsenals. What are your educational goals/transfer plans? After completion of the ADN program here, I will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX. Which is the test required to receive your RN li- cense. After, I have plans to apply to Slippery Rock University ’ s RN to BSN program. What are your career goals? I guess for me this is a two - part answer. One, I want to pass my NCLEX and become an Emergency Nurse. Second, as a member of the United States Air Force, I want to finish my BSN and commis- sion as a Nursing Officer for the military. Tell us about your Honors course or Honors contract for this semester: I ’ m currently taking my third Honors course this semester as well as doing my first Honors contract. I ’ m enrolled in Honors General Literature with Professor Fox. She ’ s an outstanding educator and I highly recommend her courses to anyone! My contract is for NUR - 140 Evidenced Based Drug Therapy. As a pharmacology course, I chose to focus my research on the rising cost of insulin in the United States. As a nursing student I want to be able to pass the information I gather to the patients under my care. Which in turn should allow them to make informed choices about the manage- ment of their care.
Since I was sixteen, my favorite book has been Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. However, I also enjoy readings books by authors Akwaeke Emezi and Ocean Vuong. If a time machine could take you anywhere for one day, when/ where would you go? If a time machine could take me anywhere for one day, I would love to visit Morocco in the 1960s and see what it looked like when my father was a kid.
Do you have any special interests/ hobbies? Before enrolling in nursing school, I spent a lot of free outdoors. Hiking and archery were always my go to activities. However, most of my time is divided between my work as an Emergency Department Tech- nician, nursing school, and my mili- tary duties. I say that in a positive way though because I enjoy what I do! What is your favorite book/author?
I would say that my favorite author has to be Ellen Hopkins. I discovered her work when she released her flagship book Crank. Out of all of her books, I enjoyed Identical the most. If a time machine could take you anywhere for one day, when/ where would you go? With vaccination as a topic of casual conversation, I would want to go back to the 1950s and speak with Dr. Jonas Salk. I think his insight into vaccination research and development would be invaluable with helping to allay the fears of those who are skeptical.
Do you have any special interests/ hobbies? Many! I enjoy making art of many different kinds. Fiber arts — includ- ing crochet, embroidery, and sewing. Music — such as singing, songwriting, and playing instru- ments (mostly ukulele). What is your favorite book/author?
What are your educational goals/transfer plans? I am on my second year of classes at CCAC, and am returning 12 years after graduating high school. I'm currently on a path to transfer, where I will be pursuing a bachelor's degree in Psycholo- gy. After, I'd like to pursue a master's degree in counseling. What are your career goals? My current career goal is to become a family and relationship therapist. I'd like to help people figure out the gaps and mis- matches in their communication to help ease conflict and encour- age growth in the relationship. Tell us about your Honors course or Honors contract for this semester: My honors contract for this semester is a research paper. In this paper, I'm going to explore comorbidity of Attention Deficit Hy- peractivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
I really enjoy the Shadow Series by Lila Bowen. (First book titled Wake of Vultures) It combines fantasy and western/cowboy story and has a really diverse group as it's main characters. I've also enjoyed Story of the Eye, by French philosopher George Bataille. If a time machine could take you anywhere for one day, when/ where would you go? There's a lot of things that come to mind, but one would be to go back to 1968 and be on the first space ship to leave Earth's orbit.
Cooking with Cultures By: Aodhán Ridenour * Honors Leadership Assistant
In a world where a man named Joe does all our trading for us, and Jeff is more concerned with worlds not our own, and eagles larger than the Sioux had dreamt of harbor goods from worlds yonder, it is sometimes easy to lose track of where our food stuffs really come from. On November 19th, 2021, a group of 9 students—and the infinitely magnanimous Dr. Srujana Kanjula—gathered deep within the oaken bones of Jones Hall on CCAC ’ s Allegheny Campus. It was the first time most of the students had met in person. Their class, Honors Sociology of Food, took place over Zoom most Thursdays and Fridays during the Fall 2021 semester. Together at last, the class would put their studies to the test. And what better way to study food than to cook and eat it yourself? Courtesy of the CCAC Culinary Arts department, the class was granted access to the Jones Hall commercial - grade kitchen, where they prepared the dishes they had theorized about in class. Like a greenhorn Guy Fieri, I stood beside the chefs themselves, commenting adamantly as they chopped and measured. Guided by student Uday Sharma, I assembled myself a Spiced Tofu Wrap from the Asian & Australian menu. The fresh topping additions of mint, carrot, roasted peanut, and green onion gallivanted amidst the densely spiced tofu crumbles and crispy water chestnuts as if the iceberg lettuce wrap were actually an iceberg being walked on by a caravan of minced ginger camels. Standing opposite Uday, in the African & Middle Eastern (cultures) section of the kitchen, Alexis Mohnkern and Ari Vescera were hard at work hollowing mini - bread bowls for Bunny Chow*: a sweetly warming South African vegetarian curry cooked to “ nappe ” consistency (sticks to the back of a spoon).
Behind them, a Chocolate Cardamom Halvah cooled in the fridge. Although Ari was not general- ly a fan of cardamom, in this form, crystallized into a “ crunchy, gooey, savory, sweetness all at the same time, ” she found it charming, as did I. (*does not contain actual bunnies)
