Last week, we posted a brief review of Eden Katz’s article in the College of Charleston Magazine.
Today, we announce the publication of yet another article featuring Honors students.
Eden appears again, as do Honors students Ashlan Bishop and Tyler Perini. The College Today posted an article called “3 Honors College Students Who are Going to Change the World” yesterday, Nov. 18th, featuring profiles of all three students. William Aiken Fellow Ashlan Bishop hails from Florida and came to CofC for our prestigious art history program. She loves the program so much that the pre-med junior is applying her art background to medicine. She’s also a Bonner Leader. Her combination of art and science disciplines makes her the embodiment of a liberal arts education. Eden Katz, on the other hand, is changing health care through policy. An International Scholar and Public Health Major, Eden spent the summer in Okurase, Ghana where she worked for the nonprofit Project OKURASE. She used her research skills to draw up a proposal for waste management in the small Ghanaian village. Tyler Perini is part of the College’s rigorous Applied Mathematics major. But he’s no mere number-cruncher; Tyler and his mentors–among them, linguistic theorist James Pennebaker at UT Austin–developed a computer program to determine how humble people are. You read that right. Tyler and Pennebaker argue that people’s use of “function words” can be indicative of their emotions. The pair examines writing samples using a program Perini designed to measure humility with 67% accuracy. He’ll move on to measure self-control with the same method.
We can hardly keep up with the achievements of our awesome Honors students. Congrats Ashlan, Eden and Tyler on being featured!
