Hosted by Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia, this year's event was built around a "Reaching for the Stars" theme, and students were asked to share their best academic or creative work with honors students and faculty from across the state.

Ann Williams, of Grayson, Georgia, presented original research titled "Connections to the Past: An Ethnographic Study of the Connection Between Modern Mayans and the Acients." She earned first place for Best Paper in the Social Sciences.

Each year, the Georgia Collegiate Honors Council invites students to submit proposals that represent excellent undergraduate work.

The Georgia Collegiate Honors Council is committed to the promotion and advancement of honors education in institutions of higher learning in the state.
