Braggin' Rights!

I have to brag on my son! He has been accepted to the Engineering Physics program at the University of Illinois in Urbana. It is tough enough to get in to this program but he has also been named as a James Scholar! This is a very special honor. Only about 400 students of the over 35,000 undergrads are selected for this (about 100 per class). This honor allows him special privileges to the library and computer labs, a special adviser, special research projects, and special honors courses. He will also have this designation stamped on his transcript at graduation. There are other honors and benefits as well.

Congratulations, son! I'm proud of you!
