Hello Honors Community,
Happy Monday!
An amazing episode of the University’s “…And Justice for All” podcast entitled “On the honor of Honors,” features a conversation among two brilliant Honors students, Mia Moore and Onteya Zachary!
Mia and Onteya are heavily involved in many Honors initiatives and their conversation offers a fascinating snapshot into their lives—personal, intellectual, academic—as Honors students. On this episode, there is no host. Just Mia and Onteya, talking about everything from their names to finding themselves at Roosevelt.
Listen here: “On the honor of Honors”
