For NTCC Honors Students, there are three major ways in which leadership not only benefits the recipient, but the whole honors experience.  Students can lead in classroom erudition, scholarship, and in collective activities that provide services for the community and/or accolades for the larger group. Now in his second semester as an honors scholar, Luke McCrawhas won the 2023 Dr. Charles B. Florio Award, for his leadership in all three venues.
