CV Honors Program

News from the CV Director

Welcome back to all returning CV students. Big changes are in the wind for CV this year. Mrs. Kacergis and I now occupy offices on the second floor of Green Center, next to Dr. Dow. Stop by for a tour and visit.

Welcome to all incoming freshman. Be sure to spend some time in the lounge getting to know the upper classmen in CV. We have an exciting year before us. But first, we have a few things to celebrate.

Congratulations to CV Students:
