2017 May 16

Lindsay Huber received the Bachman Honor Society during Newberry College's honor convocation this spring. Huber is an Early Childhood Education major from Selden, New York. She has been a member of the Wolves Women's soccer team for four years and the Women's lacrosse team for two years. She has been on Dean's List every semester at Newberry, as well as the South Atlantic Conference Honor Roll. Huber plans to attend George Mason University to pursue her Master's degree in Special Education this fall.

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 committed to fostering high standards of scholarship. The society is named for the Reverend John Bachman, churchman and scholar and the main guiding force in the founding of Newberry College. Each year the Society inducts new members from the top eight percent of the Senior Class. This year twelve 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.
