Forty Acres Scholar Armiya Humphrey came to The University of Texas to get a well-rounded education. Now a sophomore, Humphrey—an accounting and humanities major in the business honors program—is actively working toward that goal.

Humphrey recently received the President's Leadership Award, an honor given to undergraduate students who make an impact at UT by demonstrating outstanding leadership.

“I’m extremely surprised and honored,” Humphrey says. “It makes me feel like I’m really making a difference on campus.” Humphrey is a peer mentor in the business honors program, where she's helping 10 to 15 freshmen learn the ropes on the Forty Acres. She's also on the Student Ethics Board and Steering Committee, where she focuses on getting feedback from students to determine what changes need to be made.

“We really want to build relationships with these students,” Humphrey says. “It’s about making new friendships.”

She also hopes to implement a freshman ethics seminar that emphasizes the importance of integrity and the honor code at UT.

In addition to her involvement with BHP, Humphrey rushed Delta Sigma Pi the second semester of her freshman year. The business fraternity is based on three pillars: professionalism, social activities, and community service.

As Humphrey continues her undergraduate studies at UT, she hopes to dedicate more time to these organizations and also attend more events on the Forty Acres.

“I want to expand in everything I’m a part of,” she says. “I want to become more of a leader and become even more involved on campus.”
