FRQIHUHQFHIRUWKH¿UVWWLPH,ZDQWWRH[WHQGDYHU\VSHFLDOZHOFRPH DQGKRSH\RXZLOO¿QGWKLVDUHZDUGLQJH[SHULHQFH Our conference theme, “NAAAHP: Celebrating 25 Sterling Years of Academic Distinction,” was designed to celebrate the milestone of recognizing and awarding outstanding Honors scholars at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominately Black Colleges and Universities (PBCUs) for their participation in scholarly research, academic competitions, workshops, and the career fair. We are pleased to engage Honors directors, faculty and administrators in research, seminar presentations, roundtable discussions and workshops. Additionally, we are excited to have celebrating with us 40 top graduate schools and companies to recruit our high level students. We would also like to celebrate our founding pioneers, Dr. Jocelyn Jackson, and the 20 Honors directors who met at Morehouse College 25 years ago to formulate a vision to nurture academic excellence, scholarship, and professionalism among African American Honors scholars at HBCUs across the nation. The result was the birth of the National Association of African American Honors Program Conference. Today the dream lives on. It is my hope that you will enjoy the anniversary celebration of 25 years of academic distinction, scholarship, and achievement. I pray we will continue to dream the impossible dream, impact the world around us, and leave a legacy of excellence for the next generation. It has truly been a pleasure and an honor to serve as your president for the past two years. Have a wonderful conference!

History of NAAAHP TH National Association of African American Honors Programs (NAAAHP) A NNUAL

Of special interest to the Morehouse College Honors Program is the National Association of African-American Honors Programs (NAAAHP) which was founded by Dr. Jocelyn Whitehead Jackson, Professor Emerita and former director of the Morehouse College Honors Program, and Dr. Ronald J. Sheehy, former assistant Vice NAAAHP C President for Academic Affairs at Morehouse. In 1989, Drs. Jackson and Sheehy conceived the idea of forming an African American Honors organization ZKLFKZRXOGVSHFL¿FDOO\IRFXVRQWKHVSHFLDOQHHGVRI+RQRUVSURJUDPVDW+%&8V7KHRYHUDUFKLQJLVVXHZDV that the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC), while addressing honors education in general, was either unwilling or unable to address the differing needs and objectives of Honors programming at HBCU institutions. Subsequently, they summoned 22 Honors directors to Morehouse College to establish and charter the National Association of African American Honors Programs (NAAAHP) - May 24-25, 1990. Also present at this historic

event was Dr. Anne Watts, former Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs at Morehouse, and Dr. Leroy ONFERENCE Keith, Jr., former president of Morehouse College. Honors Programs Represented: Dr. Jocelyn W. Jackson, Morehouse College (director Dr. Bryson, Coppin State College for 24 years) Dr. Joan Elliott, Tennessee State University Dr. Ronald Sheehy, Morehouse College

Dr. Isabella Jenkins, Clark Atlanta University Dr. Ann W. Watts, Morehouse College Dr. Carol Jones, Elizabeth City State University Dr. Tobe Johnson, Morehouse College Dr. Claudia Jones, Payne College Dr. Leroy Keith, Jr., (former president of Morehouse Dr. Belinda Lee Morris College College) Dr. Donzell Lee, Alcorn State University Dr. Delores B.

Dr. Jenkins wrote the objectives from goals statements formulated by those directors who attended the meeting at Morehouse, and Dr. Donzell Lee wrote the constitution and bylaws. $SODQQLQJFRPPLWWHHZDVIRUPHGIRUWKHSXUSRVHRIRXWOLQLQJSODQVIRUWKH¿UVWDQQXDOFRQIHUHQFH7KHPHPEHUV of the planning committee were: Jocelyn W.

Jackson and Robinson devised a conference theme based on the goals of the organization. The conference theme was “Lighting the Torch: Developing and enhancing African American Honors Programs.” The metaphor of the lighting of the torch symbolizes the formal establishment of the organization. It also symbolizes each NAAAHP participant’s commitment to a lifelong and disciplined approach to knowledge and scholarship Light from the torch represents the leadership and knowledge that NAAAHP participants must dedicate themselves providing to the African-American and global communities. 7
