My name is Saige Rigby and I am studying Biology (Biomedical Sciences) with hopes of attending dental school after completing my undergraduate degree. For as long as I can remember, I have been absolutely infatuated with birds and I am a huge birder! I am serving as the Director's Assistant Envoy for the Fall 2024 semester where I will work to prepare honors contracts for the Director to review and conduct internal research for the program. 

Hi everyone! My name is Shannon Hendricks, and I am a third-year microbiology student. I am also an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Julia Martin's lab and the treasurer/secretary for the microbiology club. Outside of school, I love to nerd out about Greek mythology, go to spooky antique stores, and collect neat trinkets. As one of the teaching assistant envoys, I help Conner plan, grade, and facilitate HONS 1100 in the fall and various classes in the spring. 

Hi! I’m Madison Long, a freshman majoring in Multiplatform Journalism and Professional Writing. As the Communications Envoy, I am responsible for keeping the program’s students, staff, and faculty informed and updated with the newest events and opportunities offered to them. Outside of school, I’m an avid reader of murder mystery novels, and I spend my summers doing archery, my 4-H projects, and raising market goats. I’m excited to get to serve the UHP program this semester!

Hello everyone! My name is Sean Phinney, and I am the Event Planning and Instruction Envoy. Within this role, I support UHP events and look for new opportunities to help Honors students grow socially and professionally. For the instruction portion of my job, I assist Conner in teaching sections of HONS 1100. In my spare time, you can find me climbing in the gym or playing soccer on Cadet Field. Also, I have a ton of fun playing in volleyball intramurals each semester. Currently, I'm spending a lot of my time looking at graduate school programs as I prepare to finish my degrees in Psychology and Sociology later this spring!
