2018 Apr 11

Emily McElveen, of Cades, 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.

McElveen is a Physical Education major with a Teacher Certification. She is a Dean's List student, a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success and, during Honors Convocation, was inducted into Newberry College Who's Who. She is a member of the Newberry Education Society and has served as a Spanish Academy Volunteer.

McElveen has served as head coach of the Mid-Carolina Middle School Volleyball team as well as assistant coach of the girl's Mid-Carolina Middle Basketball team.

After graduation, McElveen will begin her career as a Physical Education teacher at Muller Road Middle School in Columbia and pursue her Master's Degree in Athletic Administration.
