Jessie James-Prince, a Southern Miss graduate who serves as Honors Academic Advisor and Coordinator of Honors Living Learning Programs, is the primary creator and editor of The Medallion. Kelli Sellers and Helen Greene, members of the Honors College team, will attend the NCHC conference in Kansas City, Mo., later this month to accept the award.
“Receiving this award was such an exciting surprise,” James-Prince said. “I submitted the final draft of The Medallion the day before I had my daughter back in March, three months earlier than I normally submit it, so when I got the text that this year’s issue was chosen, I was just so proud of everyone’s help in making it such a success.
“The team that I am a part of here at the Honors College is so special,” James-Prince continued. “We love to collaborate on events, projects and programs for the students, and we tend to turn any assignment into a group assignment and that’s what makes us so great.
