VILLANOVA HONORS STUDENTS: POST-GRADUATION PLANS
Tabitha Ciocco '24 FCN
Participating in a NICU nurse residency program.
Major: Nursing
Favorite Honors Memory:听My favorite Honors memory is the tea party that we had at the end of our Jane Austen class. We spent all semester talking about how amazing it could have been to live in a Jane Austen novel and attend galas and tea parties, and we actually got to have one! We all dressed up and had a wonderful time.听
Advice to New Honors Students:听Make sure to take advantage of the one credit courses Honors has to offer. I loved my one credit electives, I took all of the Shaping classes, two different Jane Austen classes, and am currently taking Intro to Guitar class. These classes are a bit less formal and more interesting, and truly help build a community! Some of my best memories are from these classes.听

Sophia Pellechia '24 CLAS
After graduation in May, I am moving to Boston and plan on working in the healthcare industry for a year. After this, I plan to attend Physician Assistant (PA) school!
Major: Biochemistry

Favorite Honors Memory: I loved being a facilitator for Shaping a College Life. It's a very "full circle" experience, that I am incredibly grateful for. More specifically, my favorite memory from facilitating that class was when I brought in cookies for a student's birthday and we all gathered around this tiny table and bonded over food and fun.
Advice to New Honors Students: The Honors Program has so much to offer (both academically, socially, and professionally), however, if I had to pick one piece of advice it would be to take advantage of the Honors Shaping curriculum. The Shaping program is super unique and something that has been incredibly impactful in my life. I recommend it to everyone in the Honors Program.
