English Professor and Graduate Director Dr Rhonda McDaniel gave a powerful initiation address for MTSU's Buchanan Fellows. You can read an excerpt in the Spring 2022 issue of Arete, the Honors Magazine.

The Honors College awards the Buchanan Fellowship, named in honor of alumnus James M. Buchanan (class of 1940), recipient of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. The fellowship is the highest academic award given to an entering freshman at MTSU.
