The National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) is a group whose mission is "to support and enhance the community of educational institutions, professionals, and students who participate in collegiate Honors education around the world." 

NCHC holds an annual conference where ideas are exchanged. The conference is held over a weekend, and includes poster sessions and roundtable discussion sessions. 

This year, seven Ball State Honors students, three honors faculty members, and both Honors college deans attended to present on topics related to Honors life at Ball State. The conference was held in Denver, Colorado.

Rebecca Jackson won an award for her poster presentation: "Poetry and Prose Composed with Code and Mathematical Notation."
