"I chose the Brock Scholars program to advance my academic career, but I couldn't have anticipated the strength of community that the Honors College gave me. I have found friendships that are stronger than any others at UTC. We've had so many new experiences together, like studying abroad, and I know I will continue these friendships and treasure these memories for a lifetime."
- Eleanor Bryant, Sociology & Philosophy Religion: Pre-law & Justice, major
