Zandria Michaud joined Global Honors in Autumn 2016 and graduated summa cum laude in Spring 2019.

"Global Honors allowed me to dive into and explore my own interests. It also added structure to my college experience. It allowed me to work with others who were driven and interested in learning but also from various backgrounds and majors."

While at UW Tacoma, she received numerous awards, including the UWT Transfer Student Scholarship, Global Honors Core Course Paper Competition Award, American Studies Award, and the Husky Volunteer Silver Medallion.
