Honors Remembers President John Bardo
On May 9th, the Honors College was present at the Celebration of Life for President John Bardo in the RSC. The first hour of the event was a tabled walk-about, and the Honors College table told the story of the President's involvement with the founding of the College.
From his inauguration speech until his death, President Bardo championed the mission of the Dorothy and Bill Cohen Honors College.
We are forever thankful for his vision and support.
