FHU Honors Council Presents at Tennessee Conference; Wins First Place in Trivia Competition

Members of the Freed-Hardeman University Honors Council recently participated in the Tennessee Collegiate Honors Council 2024 Annual Conference on February 9 and 10. During the event, students presented diverse topics and engaged in learning opportunities from fellow scholars. Notably, FHU students clinched first place trivia trophy, and did so with very few errors, according to Matthew Kuhl, a senior biochemistry major. "The hosts told us we only missed three questions," he said adding the team made the most out of the experience.

The conference, hosted by Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee, attracted honors programs from various prestigious schools across the state, including Middle Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and the host institution, Lincoln Memorial University.

The annual event serves as a prime platform for highlighting student excellence, according to Dr. Jenny Johnson, dean of the Honors College. "Making presentations in a setting like this offers numerous benefits," Johnson explained. "One tangible advantage is the significant boost it provides to a graduate school application."
