CCU honor society inducts 27 members
To be eligible for membership, students must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program and have a grade point average of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale.
The keynote speaker for the induction ceremony was Joe Oestreich, assistant professor of English. Oestreich’s presentation, “Crush the Butterfly: On the Importance of Leaving the Path,” drew on the 14 years it took him to earn his undergraduate degree, discussing the benefits of a nontraditional trek through college. Oestreich, who joined the University faculty in 2008, is a creative nonfiction specialist whose essays have appeared in Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Ninth Letter, Fourth Genre and other magazines. He is the nonfiction editor of CCU’s online literary journal, Waccamaw.
