CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN HONORS 2019 NCHC Annual Conference November 6-10, 2019 • New Orleans, LA • Sheraton New Orleans NATIONAL COLLEGIATE HONORS COUNCIL Welcome to the 54th Annual Conference of the National Collegiate Honors Council Greetings, Honors Colleagues: On behalf of the 2019 Conference Planning Committee, the Board of Directors, and the staff of the NCHC national headquarters, welcome to our 54th annual conference. We are very happy that you have taken this opportunity to learn, share, contribute, and grow with us as individuals and then extend this to not only your home institutions, but also to the larger realms of honors education and higher education. The conference topics of disruption and creativity are meant to challenge us to think, question, and act: all intrinsic to honors education globally. What better place to congregate and explore these concepts than New Orleans, a city that exemplifies them perfectly. With the diverse members of the honors community— students, faculty, administrators and administrative staff—the myriad of perspectives and experiences upon which we can draw, and the setting, we have something for everyone (from first-time attendees to veterans). Mindful that conference can be as exhausting as it is exhilarating (disruption and learning take energy!), we have added some opportunities to regain balance with networking receptions, Brain Breaks, morning yoga, and explorations of our amazing host city. We are excited that you have taken time from your busy schedules to spend the next few days with your extended honors family.

Frank Stuart, however, in the unprecedented field of four can­ didates, led the three men run­ ners and forced a run-off for to­ day to decide the coveted posi­ tion. Miss Patty Stetson, first wom­ an ever to campaign for the top student body job, picked up a surprising 42 per cent of the near-record 24.5 per cent voter turn-out. The total vote is top­ ped only by the 28 per cent gained when voting machines were used last mid-year. Frank Haber and Larry Rog­ ers together grabbed 47.0 per cent of the presidential tally and where their support is ren­ dered today may decide the run-off outcome. Before the election and through the campaigning, Stuart has been the center of contro­ versy because he proposes more student body autonomy in the functioning of the College.
