University Honors College.
In the raging sixties, when I was director
You reply that you wouldn't mind looking it
over. As it is a special evening and you still
have a little room, you gladly tell the waiter,
of the OSU Honors Program, it was branded as
elitist by many but the fact that it was open to
students from all colleges or schools and that any
student who wanted in could get in but had to meet the requirements to get out
tended to defuse the elitist charge. The Honors students I knew seemed to prefer
independent studies, were "turned on" by the colloquia, and were quite adventurous. In general, they developed strong ties to their faculty mentors and faculty
established interesting interdisciplinary connections with their peers.
During forty-one years as teacher, research scientist, and administrator I
have developed a number of opinions about universities. Undergraduate educalion is the primary mission of the university; undergraduates should be encouraged to participate in university research or other creative activities international
education should always be a part of the curriculLlrn teaching of tolerance and the
techniques for civil discourse should be woven into all courses just like writing
and critical thinking. College presidents, if they aren't doing so, should use foundation money to purchase memberships for their vice presidents and deans in
organizations should that support or relate to the above, instead of the local country club. Scholarship support should be another priority because it is too frequently an afterthought.
Finally, congratulations to OSU for reviving the Honors Program as the
University Honors College. Let us hope, in the next state budget crisis this college
does not go on someone's chopping block as it has in the past.

Honors Roll: Donors of Distinction
200 1-2002
Good things happen when good people step-up to make
them happen. Honors is fortunate to have a number of good
friends and we have a responsibility to ensure good things take
place for our students and for the university. This past year has
seen a gratifying array of contributions and support. Both are
key to Honors' achievement and both are greatly appreciated.
At a time when state funds are hard to come by, and deserving
causes are plentiful, the benefactors who are loyal supporters of
the Honors experience are all the more important. One day we
hope to have an endowment, or perhaps even to have gifts coinparable to those bestowed on other Honors operations around
the country. If that time comes, rest assured that the focus then
will remain as it is now, thoroughly on enhancing the opportunities we provide to those Honors students who will emerge as
leaders of tomorrow. If ever the phrases intellectual capital and
leveraged learning opportunities had meaning, it is in the context
of student success.

Since graduating from the UHC in Nutrition and Food
Service Management (1997), I have been privileged to practice
nutritton in a variety of settings in the Amazon basin in Brazil. My
specialty, known as nutrition surveillance, plays a crucial role in
the public health of our community, where poverty and food shortages are rampant. Working with thc Brazilian Ministry of Health.
and with a small staff of trainees. 1 monitor weight gain and nutritional status of babies and children up to five years old, identifying those in need of nutritiotial intervention.
Last year. with the help of the local government and the
Ministry of Health, we established a no-fee milk bank with powdered whole milk for at-risk children, pregnatit women, and nursing moms. This year, I am the local coorditiator for a nutrition
intervention program based on income transfer that is funded by
the federal government and is part of the largest nutrition intervention in the history of Brazil. Upon completion, we ill be reaching more than 2200 needy individuals in niy community alone. The
most important aspect of this latter effort is our quest to lower
local infant mortality rates. To this end, we have designed a strong
nutritional orientation for pregnant women. Following birth, we
provide lactation support and hreastfeeding advice through a pilot project, PROAME (Exclusive Breastfeeding Program), which
has enjoyed a tremendous community response. Within six months
of initiation we were seeing 200 infants a month.
Clearly, I love what I do, atid I am often reminded of the
quality ofthe preparation I received in the Department ofNutrition
and Food Management and the UHC, despite the fact that my
specific field (international nutrition) is not elaborated in any single
OSU college. In terms of support, guidance, referral to sources
outside the University, and the presentation of creative challenges,
the Honors staff is to be congratulated.
Going a step further, it can be said that further proof of
Honors' success is in the continued camaraderie that it seeks to
maintain with its students long after they graduate. I wish to offer
thanks to Honors for giving me the freedom to pursue my passion
as well as the structure to achieve it.
