<p>Top medical schools and national scholarships, here's a couple examples from the latest (March 1) Honors Voice of what Tech (and yourself) can do together:</p>

<p>"Camille Robinson, a junior Biochemistry major, has been selected as a finalist in the Harry S. Truman scholarship competition. This scholarship is for $30,000 toward graduate school for a student intending to pursue a public service career. TTU has only one Scholar and three other finalists on our record. Ms. Robinson will interview for the scholarship on March 13. She has already been admitted to TTU medical school. </p>

<p>Congratulations to Javier Villanueva-Meyer, who has been selected as the TTU Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi nominee for the Graduate School Fellowship. Javier will attend medical school next fall. He has been accepted to the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, and the New York University School of Medicine; plus he is awaiting news from the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship provides national winners with $5,000 for their graduate school programs."</p>

<p>Tech's catch-phrase now is "from here, it's possible" and they mean it.</p>

<p>That's great. Now if Tech would raise their academic standards and get rid of the party hardy students, they would be on track. Then again, the school is still in Lubbock, far away from everywhere else.</p>

<p>The half-full glass again, Tech's academic standards met the stringent qualifications to allow a Phi Beta Kappa chapter (for Arts & Sciences) on Tech's campus in 2006, one of only seven new ones granted in the country last year.</p>
