The 2023 issue of A+, the Honors College Magazine, is available now. Try your hand at ancient Sumerian with a Bodenhamer fellow, enjoy a tour of paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar’s office and laboratory in Old Main as he opens the mouth on teeth and climate change or hop aboard the Ana María with an honors alumna who is making waves in the business world and the Pacific Ocean. 

A+ also reports on the latest honors student research, from Nayeli Ortiz’s immersive marketing strategy encouraging first-generation students to study abroad, to Taylor Clary’s delicious endeavor to upcycle misfit produce. 

This year, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Path Program and reflect on the accomplishments and impact of our students who have paved a transformative journey for generations to come – from designing medical devices for women and children in Africa to finding a voice through sculpture and the arts community in Northwest Arkansas. 

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Path Program, A+ presents: 

• “A Path Forward” celebrating the Path Program through the eyes of 10 students spanning the 10 years.
