Emma Mendoza wins eighth Dr. Charles B. Florio Leadership Award
For NTCC Honors Students, there are three major ways in which leadership not only benefits the recipient, but the whole honors experience. Students can lead in classroom erudition. They can lead in scholarship, generally producing an essay or project that addresses major issues or problems. Finally, they can lead in collective activities that provide services for the community and/or accolades for the larger group. During her first summer in honors and first semester in an honors seminar last fall, Emma Frances earned the 2025 Dr. Charles B. Florio Award, for her leadership in all three venues.
