McDaniel College 

The Best and Brightest
Nancy Palmer
Retired Senior Lecturer of English
Nancy Palmer
  • We built the Honors Program to recruit exceptionally talented, motivated students to McDaniel. More — that’s what distinguishes them. The Honors students may not do things differently, but they do more.
  • Our Honors students study the Great Works, which are mostly written by dead white men. But there’s as much to learn from what’s not in the text, who’s not represented.
  • Don’t waste your brains. We have got to have the best and most creative thinking that we can get to solve the world’s problems.
  • I’m spending my retirement reading big books by Salmon Rushdie and Don DeLillo.
  • But I also have all the Oprah’s Book Club recommendations.
