\"etown-logo\"<\/a>When Kyle Kopko ’05<\/a> attended Elizabethtown early in the new millennium, he was a member of the College\u2019s Honor Program<\/a>. As a student, he witnessed, firsthand, what it was like to have professors and the Program director work with him one-on-one, noting that it made his experience even more memorable.<\/p>\n

Fast forward a decade, and Kopko is once again involved with E-town\u2019s Honors Program — this time as the newly appointed director.<\/p>\n

I already walked that path.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a recent interview, Kopko said he saw this position as a unique opportunity to give back to a College that gave so much to him. \u201cI\u2019m a product of the College and the Honors Program,\u201d he said. \u201cI am cognizant of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a professor of political science, director of the school\u2019s pre-law program and president-elect of the Northeast Association of Pre-Law Advisors<\/a> (NAPLA), he envisions being director of the Honors Program as a way to build a social network and to offer even more student-faculty interaction. He also saw an opportunity to let students know that he was once in their shoes. \u201cI already walked that path,\u201d he said. He hopes to help students look toward the future and guide them to their next step.<\/p>\n

Becoming director of a program in which he was involved as a student \u201ccompletes the puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
