Razi Naouali is in his first year at WCSU, but he is already very involved on campus as a Kathwari Honors student, a member of the men’s soccer team, an SGA senator, and now as a student ambassador in the president’s office. Naouali learned about the Honors Program at the beginning of the fall semester and decided to apply. He has appreciated his experiences so far, especially the smaller class sizes, which have allowed him to connect with fellow Honors students across different majors in a more intimate setting.
