THIRTY-THREE STUDENTS SELECTED FOR

ABAC HONORS PROGRAM

          Thirty-three students were selected for membership in the Honors Program at Abraham Baldwin College for the fall semester. Membership in the program is gained through high school academic standing and an invitation from Honors Director Gail Dillard.
