Facilitators and Moderators

Keynote Address:

• Honors, Democracy, and the iGeneration - Dr. Lester Monts
  • What challenges do these new technologies bring to the quality of participation in honors programs?
  • Will subsequent generations of honors students have no memory of a group identity that set standards for academic excellence and transformational leadership?
  • Will honors programs give way to their role in nurturing and promoting leaders for a global society that increasingly promotes democracy as the pinnacle of political governance and human interaction to icons of the iGeneration (MySpace, Facebook, imageboards, text messaging, and YouTube)?
