USF 70: Honors Student Leaders with Ashley Hinton, Naziza Naeer Bhuiyan, Jason Rodencal, and Katelynn Paciorek

As the University of South Florida continues to celebrate its 70th anniversary, the Judy Genshaft Honors College is bringing back some its past students whose bold leadership shaped the future of Honors for years to come. The Honors College student council plays an integral role in Honors culture – fostering professional development, leadership growth, and creating a community. On this episode, past Honors student council presidents join the podcast to share their Honors experiences, what they’re up to now, and how the college has grown since they graduated. Ashley Hinton, Naziza Naeer Bhuiyan, and Jason Rodencal share their memories of the close-knit community in the Honors student lounge and living learning community, while Katelynn Paciorek dives into the transition to the new Judy Genshaft Honors College building. From beloved traditions like Fall Picnic to carrying forward professional development and service initiatives, our guests revisit the events that helped define their Honors experience and unpack how those traditions continue to shape the community today.  Don’t forget to rate and review – we love to hear your feedback.
