UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Schreyer Honors College has welcomed Wendy Hanna-Rose, Mary High and Zoubeida Ounaies as its third cohort of faculty fellows.
“Each cohort of faculty fellows has made an impact on Schreyer Honors College,” said Schreyer Dean Patrick Mather. “I look forward to seeing how our third cohort will approach their fellowship and help our Scholars.”
Faculty fellows work closely with the Honors College staff to study, innovate and enhance the honors education experience at Penn State. The faculty fellows will serve for the 2025-26 term, and will complete a project for Schreyer Honors College.
