Events 2008

A celebration of academic achievement, member events are open to all members and their immediate family at no charge. Mr. Nobel participates in the events as a featured speaker, and also meets and greets members. Advisory board members are invited to attend (participation depends on their individual schedules). We'll be traveling from coast to coast with Mr. Nobel, recognizing students, connecting with college admissions officers from the top universities, and perusing career fairs with exhibits from outstanding corporations. Make sure to mark your calendars for these incredible events that will mature you as a scholar and build your resume and transcripts for college. You may contact Yun Mi Yi with any questions about member events.

Annual Scholar's Day Program

NSHSS members celebrated our annual Scholar's Day on May 30 in Washington D.C. This program is a gala event recognizing members, educators, families, and scholarship recipients.

Additionally, we heard from Dr. Di Yerbury, NSHSS Advisory Board member, who is the first woman to have served as a university president in Australia.  In the morning on May 30, we held a college fair from 9-11 a.m. in the U.S. Senate Russell Caucus Room.  Some of the universities attending the college fair include Columbia, LSU, Princeton, Purdue, Rice, Stanford, Tulane, the University of Maryland, and  international universities Dublin City University, Linköping University Sweden, Macquarie University, Ritseumeikan Asia Pacific University, the University of Dundee, the University of Otago, and Victoria University of Wellington.
