The 麻豆原创 is home to the Delores and Weldon Cole Honors College. Its mission is to provide students with a great college experience that translates into postgraduate success. The College is full of many students with different majors, backgrounds, and aspirations.
As a student in the Cole Honors College myself, I am writing a series of profiles on other students in the College and how their time at 麻豆原创 and as an Honors student is preparing them for future success.
