Carnes Inducted Into Bachman Honor Society

2018 Apr 10

Hannah Carnes, of Lancaster, SC, was inducted into the Bachman Honor Society at the 2018 Newberry College Awards Convocation. The Bachman Honor Society was founded on March 15, 1962 by a group of faculty who were members of Phi Beta Kappa and others who were deeply comitted to fostering high standards of scholarship. The society is named for the Reverend John Bachman, churchman and scholar, and the main guiding force in founding Newberry College.

Each year the Society inducts new members from the top eight percent of the senior class. This year thirteen seniors have been named Bachman Honor Scholars. Along with their membership certificate, inductees into the Society will receive Scarlet and Gray honor cords to be worn at commencement, designating them as Bachman Honor Scholars.

Carnes will graduate with a major in English with a Secondary Education Concentration. She was inducted into Newberry College Who's Who during Fall Honors Convocation.

Carnes is a member of Phi Alpha Theta and Blue Key Honors Society and is active as a Newberry College Theater volunteer, Peer Writing Tutor and RETAIN/Grow Education Assistant. She has also served as a volunteer at the Newberry County Animal Shelter.

After graduation, Carnes plans to teach high school English before pursuing a Master of Arts Degree with a focus on Victorian or Shakespearean literature.
