2010 Annual NCHC Conference
Rhythms and Currents
Kansas City, Missouri
October 20-24, 2010
Kansas City, “The Heart of the Midwest,” pulsates with jazz rhythms and the currents of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers that flow through its environs, nourishing the landscape and nurturing its rich ethnic and economic diversity. Like the exquisite fountains that grace Kansas City’s plazas and boulevards, turning water into art, honors programs and colleges channel the currents of higher education, providing access to challenging academic opportunities and enriching life experiences for students and professionals. To sustain these programs, especially in uncertain times, NCHC members work together to improvise variations on the themes of excellence and achievement, creating our own honors jazz.
NCHC is goin’ to Kansas City in 2010 — Kansas City, here we come!
