Lee Anne Flagg ('09) Honors Student with American Sociological Association Honors Program

In the summer of 2008, Lee Anne Flagg was selected to attend the American Sociological Association's Annual Meeting in Boston, MA through the Honors Program.  The Honors Program is an opportunity for exceptional undergraduate sociology students to attend conference sessions, present their own research at an Honors Program roundtable, explore careers in sociology, attend a panel on graduate school, as well as a graduate school fair, and network with prominent sociologists.  The ASA's Honors Program is a great introduction to professional sociology for undergraduates.  Lee Anne states, "I cannot be thankful enough to the ASA Honors Program and Truman's Department of Society and Environment for their support, which in the end provided me with invaluable networking opportunities for internships and graduate school.  In addition, I know I would not have been as successful without the guidance of the Society and Environment faculty.  Because of the rigor of the coursework in Sociology/Anthropology, I was well prepared for presenting research at a conference and pursuing a professional career in sociology."  More information about the ASA Honors Program can be found on the ASA's website: http://www.asanet.org/cs/root/topnav/students/about_the_asa_honors_program
