Annual Honors Convocation and Alpha Chi Induction Held
David Daniel, the President of the Dominican College Chapter of Alpha Chi, delivered the Honors Convocation Address.
Dominican College鈥檚 most accomplished students were recognized during the annual Honors Convocation and Alpha Chi Induction on Monday, November 14, 2016, in the Hennessy Center.
The Alpha Chi Honor Society is a national honor society which recognizes academic excellence, leadership, and service. Alpha Chi is open to juniors and seniors in all disciplines and is highly selective. During the ceremony, the inductees lit candles from a Candle of Knowledge and were presented with a white stole around their necks.
David Daniel, a senior nursing student and the President of the Dominican College Chapter of Alpha Chi gave an inspiring Honors Convocation Address. The theme throughout his speech was that there is greatness inside each and every student.听 He told a story of a young boy who was able to save his friend from drowning in an icy pond.听 When responders questioned how the small boy could possibly break a large branch to help save his friend, an older man replied, 鈥淭here was no one to tell him that he can鈥檛.鈥�
Daniel then spoke to the students. 鈥淚f you can move away from naysayers, If you can push away the idea that it鈥檚 not possible,听 you will be sitting here and the next thing you know, when you move to the next phase of your life, you鈥檒l be amazed at what you can do, because there is greatness inside of you,鈥� he said.听
In addition to the Alpha Chi induction, students were honored for being on the Dean鈥檚 List for one to three years.

Liberal Arts Students Present Their Senior Research Projects
Students, faculty, and administrators stopped by Lawrence Hall on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, to speak to seniors in the Liberal Arts program about their research projects.
More than 40 Liberal Arts students presented their Senior Research Projects on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, in the Lawrence Room of Rosary Hall. The projects covered a wide variety of disciplines — including biology, communication studies, psychology and the social sciences.
The presentations come as seniors are wrapping up their capstone and senior seminar courses.听 鈥淪eniors who have been working on a particular research topic and subject have an opportunity to explain their research and their findings to the rest of the Dominican College community,鈥� said Dr. Mark Meachem, Director of the Division of Arts and Sciences.听
This is the second year that all Liberal Arts students have presented their projects on the same day.听 It鈥檚 a way to highlight Dominican College鈥檚 emphasis on the value of a Liberal Arts education, which provides students with a strong foundation in skills related to speaking, reading, writing, problem solving, analyzing, and interpreting information.听
