HONORS ACADEMY ALUMNI: Where are They Now?
Welcome to the inaugural installment of the Honors Academy Alumni: Where are They Now? Each Scoop, 懂色帝鈥檚 Honors Program will spotlight their graduates and 鈥渨here they are now鈥� along their life鈥檚 journey. All honors alumni are invited to contribute to this special column featuring you!
The first honoree is Sophia Hahn, a spring 2018 graduate of 懂色帝.
Hahn is currently a Peer Power Success Coach at Melrose High School, while she completes her bachelor's degree in world languages from the University of Memphis. She aspires to become a teacher, because "Teaching is my passion," she says, and it shows. Although she graduated from 懂色帝, Hahn still allows time in her busy schedule to tutor multiple students at 懂色帝. Her goal is to enter the MAT program at UofM and teach English, German and ESL. She reflects fondly on her time with the Honors Academy, where she served as president, saying that the friendships she found there, and the strong bonds she enjoyed with faculty and students, made Honors much like an extended family. "[Honors] gave me the confidence to push myself to my greatest potential," Hahn says. "It was a family full of endless support."

obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree in communications. In her words: 鈥淚 am beyond grateful
for the help and guidance I have received from the program staff and my professors.
