By Colleen Ryan<\/p>\n

Each year in selecting a new cohort, the Haslam Scholars Program identifies, attracts, and nurtures students of extraordinary intellectual capability and personal depth who are engaged leaders, scholars, and citizens from a variety of backgrounds. The class entering in 2014 certainly lives up to these ends. They come from fourteen high schools, public and private, in twelve counties and two states with stellar academic achievement and potential \u2014their average ACT score is 33 and average GPA is 4.19. However, the incoming Haslam Scholars have proven to be far more than a set of impressive numbers.<\/p>\n

The incoming cohort participated in service at the Pond Gap Community Garden during the summer.<\/p><\/div>\n

Diversity is a major strength of the Haslam Scholars Program, and this class is no exception. \u201cSomething very notable and defining about my class of Haslam Scholars is the amount of diversity that is just us fifteen,\u201d said incoming scholar Elle Johnson. \u201cWe have all come from cultures, locations, and education types, but this diversity only shows that brilliant minds can come from all walks of life,\u201d Johnson continued. \u201cThere is no cookie-cutter image of what a scholar should be, and I\u00a0believe that my cohort of Haslam Scholars is perfect evidence of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our scholars conducted research in high school, served in student government, played varsity sports, and led student organizations. From involvement in journalism to 4-H to breast cancer research, this year\u2019s class of Haslam Scholars has a diverse set of interests that have translated seamlessly to their university experience. They are pursuing disciplines across the university, from economics and international relations to civil engineering and microbiology, and involving themselves in a variety of activities.<\/p>\n

The cohort also participated in team building and leadership activities this summer at the UT Recreation Center.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Class of 2018 has not waited to become engaged in the Volunteer community. David Marsh has joined the American Society of Mechanical Engineers design team and started the Lego Robotics Club at Pond Gap Elementary as part of his program service requirement. Josh Brown has gotten involved with the UT Religious Studies Association and serves as its vice president. He explained, \u201cIt\u2019s given me great opportunities to be involved with pertinent issues revolving around the scholastic pursuit of religion, like the Siddiqi Lecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Enciso and Jeremy McDuffie are brothers together in the Beta Upsilon Chi fraternity. Jeremy has found one of the most valuable aspects of his UT experience to be community. \u201cThe most meaningful thing for me has been making friends, largely due to my fraternity. There are a lot of quality guys and girls I’ve met through BYX as well as just by being on campus here. The community at UT so far has been pretty great.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been a great privilege welcoming each of these remarkable students and leaders into the Haslam Scholars Program community:<\/p>\n
