A word from Kelly Jo Fulkerson-Dikuua (2006), President of the UTC Honors College Advisory Board:
“I hope you are all doing well. I also hope that you will all join me in attending the Honors College Gala and sponsoring an alumni table! In 2021, I partnered with a group of AMAZING ‘06 & ‘07 Alum to sponsor a table and we had the best time catching up with each other and learning about all of the exciting developments with our beloved Honors College. I have attended the gala for the past few years and each time I go, I am reminded of how incredibly fortunate I was to attend UTC as an honors student. I think back to traveling outside of the US for the first time, reading books that have shaped my worldview, taking classes that pushed me far out of my comfort zone, and making friendships that have endured long beyond my four years at UTC. This list comprises just a few of the many ways my time in the Honors College left indelible impressions on my life. Yet, even more than realizing my good fortune as an alumna, I am humbled to hear about the incredible paths our fellow alums have taken in life. From becoming parents & grandparents to working as college professors to curating art galleries to graduating from medical school to directing non-profit work to living abroad to writing poetry and through so many other profound paths in life, I always leave with awe for the ways the Honors College prepared each of us to find our own ways in the world. Even more, I am always grateful for the warm hugs and enthusiastic conversations as people separated by decades and geography have a moment to connect, reminisce, and celebrate. I hope you will all join us – I truly would love to see each of you! And, if you are able, I hope you will join me in giving financially to this program that has brought so much to our lives. ”
