Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The National Collegiate Honors Council has named recent Â鶹ÊÓƵ graduate Megan Swoger a 2018 Portz Scholar. She is the ninth Â鶹ÊÓƵ student to receive the honor since the inception of the Portz Scholars competition in 1990.

Freshmen at the American Academy attend a welcome reception before starting classes. The American Academy is a new partnership between Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR), a major university in Brazil, for students who want a global experience while earning their degree.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about Â鶹ÊÓƵ student Carrie Esser is that she is not an art major but she has gained a reputation for her makeup and body-painting business.
