Undergraduate Consultants Inducted into Farquhar Honors College Honor Society

NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) undergraduate consultants from multiple colleges were inducted into the Alpha Chi National College Honors Society on Nov 14, 2019 at the Performance Theatre in the University Center. The Alpha Chi National College Honors Society is a coeducational academic honor society whose purpose is to promote academic excellence and exemplary character and to honor those students who achieve this distinction. Students invited to join Alpha Chi must hold academic grades that place them in the top of all upper-class students.

The 2019 inductees included Genesis Alverez (CAHSS, Legal Studies major) Melissa Vaz-Ayes (Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography, Biology major), and Bianca Oliviera (NSU Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, English & Secondary English Education major). Along with being active members of the Honors College, these students also work as consultants at the NSU Writing & Communication Center.

Mikayla Ruiz (CAHSS, Human Development and Family Studies major), WCC undergraduate consultant, who was inducted into the honors society last year, and now serves as an officer stated, “Through my involvement in the Honors College, I have been able to explore other avenues as an undergraduate, such as at the WCC. Here, I have been able to use my new perspectives from the Honors College to influence my approach as a writing consultant and help students develop themselves into competent writers. The Honors College has provided me with a truly enriching experience, which has allowed me to gain new global perspectives and view my college years through a multidisciplinary lens.”
