Shannon Vreeland, UGA Swimmer, Olympic gold medalist, and 2015 NCAA Top Ten Student-Athlete I grew up in Kansas and chose to attend the University of Georgia because… I took a few trips to other schools and after only a few hours at UGA, I knew it was where I wanted to go. The Honors Program at UGA is fantastic as is the sense of community. I attended a football game in the rain and the stadium was packed from start to finish with screaming, cheering fans in ponchos and the school spirit really left an impression on me. On top of all of that, the swim team and UGA coaches are world class. I could not have found a better fit.”

Running for Research
T
hird-year Honors student and Foundation Fellow Jacob Kennedy, from Albany, is rarely not thinking of running these days. As an anthropology major, Jacob is
interested in social structures and networks, and applied research in cultural topics. An avid long-distance runner himself, Jacob has focused his undergraduate research, being conducted through CURO, on runners in East Africa, specifically the social networks within and between training camps, athlete migration (both domestic and international), issues of identity and gender, the role of related infrastructure, and the impacts of running-related tourism. Jacob says: “Most research on East African runners asks why they are so good and takes a biological perspective, leaving a lot unexamined. There is talk about altitude or genes, but there’s no substantial evidence to support those theories.” He adds: “What people don’t realize is that there are formal systems in place to make sure that Kenyans and Ethiopians dominate the sport, from governmental support to foreign managers and sponsors, as well as economic and social incentives. Rather than examining why those systems make East African runners great, I’m looking at how those systems are crafted and change, and how they affect individuals and groups in the region.” According to Jacob, “right now I’m gaining access to East African training camps so I can do fieldwork this summer.” In preparation for his further work, Jacob has been learning research techniques associated with the geographic information system (GIS), a computer system to capture and analyze

geographical data. Using GIS, Jacob is now creating the first comprehensive map of East African training camps. This will not be Jacob’s first time studying in Africa. Last summer, to increase his knowledge of Arabic, his minor, Jacob studied intensive Arabic while living in a homestay in Morocco, with funding through the Honors International Scholars Program (HISP). Eventually, Jacob would like to become an anthropologist on staff at an NGO, where he can use applied research to solve local problems, particularly dealing with sport as development.
During the summer of 2014, Foundation Fellow Jacob Kennedy lived in Morocco and studied Arabic intensively, with funding from the Willson Honors Student Support Fund, through HISP.

Of Jewelry and Fencing
T
hird-year Ramsey Honors Scholar Melissa Cousins, from Midland, is majoring in jewelry and metals. Watching Melissa at work in the jewelry and metalwork studio in the Lamar Dodd School of Art is fascinating. It is obvious that she is highly dedicated to her craft, and she will spend hours pounding on a cup to give it just the right formation and embellishments. Alternatively, she can sit quietly at her studio desk carefully laying a precious stone in an earlier crafted earring. When you ask Melissa about her underlying academic interest in jewelry, she sums it up as follows: “I’ve started looking into the history of jewelry and craft, as well as the modern and historical differences between art and craft, and where jewelry lies in that dichotomy. The fact that jewelry is traditionally considered very much a craft has led to a lack of scientific inquiry and study on the technical aspects of jewelry. Because of this, I’m working this semester in research on enameling, which is a technique where powdered glass is fused onto metal.” Melissa states that “the way enameling is taught is rife with misconceptions, untruths, and completely made up conjecture, while the things that are actually important

and that can have a great impact on the quality of enamel are disregarded and unstudied.” She adds: “I’m trying to uncover the truths behind enamel and hopefully develop a method of removing fire scale from an enameled piece without damaging it.” This thoughtful, quiet, and careful jewelry maker is also a very talented fencer. She is part of the UGA fencing team and is a certified referee for the United States Fencing Association. In the summer of 2014, she traveled to Costa Rica as an Honors International Scholar to study art and astronomy. Melissa is planning to make a career as a jeweler.

Candace Flagg on Her UGA Experience
I
began my undergraduate career at UGA in the fall of 2011 as a biological sciences major from Bowie, Maryland. Many have asked me why I came all the way down from Maryland to Georgia. The most honest answer I can give is that I fell in love with the campus. I have many family members that live in Georgia as well, so I consider it to be a home away from home. I entered the Honors Program my first semester, seeking challenging classes and a distinctive education. I was born into a military family and grew up around the Army culture. From a young age, I learned the value of service and knew that college would be the perfect place for me to explore many service opportunities. My involvement in various organizations, like GA Daze, the

Conduct Review Board, and Project FOCUS, has helped me find my niche. Through the Honors Program, I have benefitted not only from small class settings, and have worked with incredible teachers, but most importantly, I have been introduced to the Thomas Lay After School Program. The Thomas Lay After School Program is an Honors-sponsored service opportunity located near downtown Athens. Each weekday, Honors and non-Honors students from a variety of majors mentor elementary and middle school aged children. All of the children that attend the program come from struggling families, and many are at-risk students that do not have the same opportunities and quality of life I had while growing up. Giving these children the stability that they may lack at home and encouraging them to value their education not only makes a difference in their lives, but also motivates me each day to continue volunteering in economically disadvantaged communities. I am proud to be serving as one of two executive directors of the program this school year and to ensure the children are in a safe, yet fun environment. I have so many personal relationships with the children that attend the program and will truly miss them after I graduate. My time at UGA as an Honors student has broadened my experiences and shaped the individual I am today. I am now ready and prepared to pursue a medical career. In May, I plan on returning to Maryland and then to matriculate into medical school in the fall. I hope to attend Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. Coming from an Army family, I have always wanted to serve in the military. Even more, I would like to study medicine in combination with military training in order to become a military medical officer. My dream for now is to practice pediatric medicine. I know that working with the students at Thomas Lay has helped inspire this desire. Just before beginning my undergraduate education, many people told me that the college experience would be the best years of my life. Now as a fourth-year student excited to graduate, I know what they all meant.� S

ameson Kenerly, a second-year biological sciences major from Jesup, has loved twirling since she was a little girl. From the time she was five years old, she has competed in the national twirling competition in Southbend, Indiana. She has won many gold medals in twirling competitions, including the world’s top twirling competition, the International Cup Competition, in Amsterdam in 2013. A specialist in fire twirling
and a former Miss America Outstanding Teen, Jameson competed for the first time for UGA in 2014 at the national twirling competition and won the WOW Award based on showmanship, presentation, and entertainment. In the same year, she became the World Open Solo Champion for 18-year-olds in the individual competition. There is no denying that Jameson has a competitive spirit. So when she took Honors Director David Williams’ First-Year Odyssey seminar course last fall and heard him talk about the Honors Program, she knew that she wanted to be part of it. She worked hard and was accepted through the Honors Program’s First-Semester Entry process. Jameson says: “Applying to the Honors Program is by far the best decision I’ve made so far at UGA.” In addition to daily practices, hours working out in the gym, and performing alongside the Red Coat Band at UGA football games, Jameson makes time for other activities as well, including being a member of the Service Committee for the Honors Program Student Council (HPSC). Through HPSC, she volunteers at Barnett Shoals Elementary School’s After School Program. Jameson has also worked at the Athens Area Homeless Shelter and Rivers Alive. She organizes lectures and informal events for HPSC, such as Dr. Maria Navarro’s “Hunger and Food Security Around the World” lecture and the “Flipping Out Over Finals” pancakes event with Dr. Williams. Beyond the Honors Program, Jameson is the Academic Achievement Chair for her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, and works hard to boost the Chapter’s GPA and to ensure that all members of ZTA are academically successful. It is obvious that while Jameson loves twirling, she is also passionate about academics and leadership. Jameson’s dream is to go to medical school after she finishes her undergraduate degree and to become an orthopedic surgeon.

Honors Program Parent Society
T
he Honors Program recognizes how important parents are to the success of our students, and therefore would like to encourage their involvement in the Honors community. There are many ways for parents to stay connected and to support the Honors Program mission of providing an unparalleled undergraduate experience for its students. One of the most important of these opportunities is to become a member of the Honors Program Parent Society. The Honors Parent Society was created in 2013 to enhance the involvement of parents with the Honors Program, and to provide an opportunity for parents to directly support the Program and its students. In addition, it is an opportunity for parents to stay engaged with their own students. In short, it provides an enriched college experience for parents and students alike. Using the Parent Society annual membership gifts, the Honors Program is able to support transformational experiences for students through stipends for undergraduate research, internships, and both domestic and international travel-study programs.
Honors Program Parent Society members `` Are asked to make an annual tax deductible gift of $2,000 to the Honors Parent Society Fund, which is used to fund travel-study, internships, undergraduate research, and other special Honors programming. `` Are invited to attend a parent and student event and the annual Honors Program tailgate in the fall, the Gala of Giving in the spring, as well as the annual UGA Presidents Club Reception. `` Will experience a direct connection to UGA and the Honors Program and will partner with the Program to address critical student issues. `` Will provide a network of support for incoming first-year students and their parents. For more information about the Honors Program Parent Society or questions on how to become a member, please contact Dorothe Otemann at 706.583.0698 or at dotemann@uga.edu.
