One of the university’s largest academic ceremonies, Honors Convocation brings administrators, faculty, staff and students together to celebrate academic success. This year’s event will begin at 6 p.m. at the Manchester Downtown Hotel.
Leading the proceedings is UNH Manchester Dean Mike Decelle, with remarks from Wayne Jones, interim UNH provost and vice president for academic affairs. Daniel Seichepine, assistant professor of neuropsychology and recipient of the 2018 Excellence in Teaching Award, will deliver the faculty address.
This year's student speaker is Presidential Scholar and communication arts major Caroline Consoli. A graduate of Manchester Memorial High School, Consoli has been an active part of the campus community since she began at UNH Manchester in 2014. She has supported first-year students in adjusting to campus life as a Peer Assistant Leader, welcomed new students as an Orientation Leader and assisted with admissions events and projects as a Student Ambassador.
Consoli is a shining representative of UNH Manchester, whether she is giving prospective students and their families insight into student life on a campus tour, or helping fellow students with their writing skills in her role as a Peer Tutor at the Center for Academic Enrichment. Her leadership, involvement and contribution to campus social life earned her the 2016 Leader by Example Award and 2018 Breaking Brick Walls Award at the college's Student Leadership Recognition Ceremony.
Honors Convocation will recognize Presidential Scholars, University Scholars, inductees of the Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Epsilon Delta and Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) honor societies as well as recipients of the Writing Across the Curriculum and academic program awards. Congratulations to the following students, who will be recognized for outstanding academic achievement in their undergraduate degree programs.
