Coffeyville Community College will reinstate the Honors Program in Fall 2016. The program will motivate and challenge students academically in and out of the classroom.

Taking on the role of Honors Program Director is Emily Washburn. Washburn was previously the CCC Head Women’s Basketball Coach. Washburn will also be taking over the Quiz Bowl Team.

“I am excited for the change,” said Washburn. “This position gives me the opportunity to continue working with students and make an impact.”

Washburn brings 13 years of advising experience to the position and a unique vision of program growth opportunities.

“I want future students to know that CCC is a good academic option for them,” said Washburn. “Often times, students focus on activities and athletics. I want them to know they can do that as well as excel in the classroom.”

The program’s selection process will be based on a compilation of ACT and SAT scores, high school GPA, writing samples, an interview, and other pertinent materials. Students will then be placed in various honors level courses with the intent of graduating with honors.

“I look forward to being a resource that students can utilize,” said Washburn. “I hope to see the Honors Program and the Quiz Bowl Team grow in the future.”
