Merrimack College Honors Program

We’re excited to kick off our Welcome to MCHonors series by spotlighting five members of the Class of 2029 who are all pursuing Education! These future teachers are already bringing the passion, purpose, and positivity we love to see in our community💙💛

Swipe to meet some of the amazing Honors students who will one day shape classrooms of their own!

As we wrap up our final day of undergraduate finals, we’re spotlighting George who’s closing out his Merrimack journey Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Civil Engineering and a minor in Math!
From ultimate frisbee and WMCK radio to contributing to research and playing in the Merrimack Band, George made the most of his time here. Next stop: Tetra Tech as a traffic engineer!
We’re so proud of everything you’ve accomplished, George!💙💛

Last Tuesday, we hosted our 14th Annual Senior Recognition Dinner, a celebration of the accomplishments, leadership, and impact of the Class of 2025.

As part of this celebration, we continued our annual tradition of presenting the Spirit of Honors Award to graduating seniors who exemplify the core values of scholarship, leadership, and service. This year’s recipients were Kaitlyn Koza, Molly Campagnone, and Marissa Pacheco, each of whom has left a lasting mark on our community through their dedication, involvement, and leadership.

In addition, we were proud to introduce three new awards this year, each recognizing students who have gone above and beyond in distinct and meaningful ways. The Outstanding Scholar Award given to Kayleigh Manupelli for her exceptional academic performance and a deep commitment to learning and intellectual engagement. The Unsung Hero Awards given to Gabrielle Chase and Hannah Phillips recognizing their quiet yet meaningful contributions that have strengthened our community through kindness, support, and behind-the-scenes leadership. And the
Torchbearer Award given to Meg Hayes, honoring a student who has served as a role model and source of inspiration through sustained leadership and dedication to the Honors Program.

Congratulations to all of our graduating seniors and award recipients. Your contributions have shaped the Honors Program in lasting ways, and we look forward to all you will accomplish in the future.

We had a wonderful time at our DIY Flower Bouquet event! 🌸

April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day!

Today is global initiative dedicated to increasing understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals on the autism spectrum.

This day highlights the importance of inclusion, equal opportunities, and advocacy for the rights of autistic individuals.

It serves as a reminder that people with autism deserve the same dignity, freedoms, and access to education, employment, and community engagement as anyone else.
