Blackburn College new inductees into honors society chapters

A local Blackburn College student has been inducted into the College's honors society chapters.

Cody Newcomb of Staunton was one of 14 Blackburn students celebrated for their exceptional academic achievements during the November ceremony. The event was hosted by Dr. Karen Dillon, Professor of English, and featured a keynote speech from Dr. Alberto Cintron-Colon, Professor of Biology, who shared words of wisdom regarding success both in and outside of the classroom.

Newcomb is a member of Alpha Chi, a national honor society, that recognizes students who excel academically—residing in the top 10 percent of their junior or senior class—and are elected by Blackburn faculty on the basis of academic achievements and character.
