Streaming television service providers and on-demand services offered by cable and satellite companies have opened the door for television fans to engage in marathon viewing sessions of their favorite shows.

Such sessions are now routinely characterized as “binge watching,” in which people spend hours on end watching popular series such as “Game of Thrones,” “The Walking Dead” and “Stranger Things,” often watching multiple episodes in a single session.

The concept of marathon television programming is, perhaps surprisingly, not all that new. Television marathons have been broadcast on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day for decades. Many people include television marathons as part of their plans for the New Year, perhaps as a way to unwind after all of the festivities.

For the 10th year in a row, members of Honors Northeast, the honors program at Northeast Texas Community College, have presented scholarly work at the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC). Presidential Scholars Brenda Godoy, Cassidy Watkins, Adriana Rodriguez and Rachel Jordan maintained the college’s tradition of presenting at the conference, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia earlier this month.

The NCHC program committee accepted 126 General Session panel proposals from around the nation into the program, as well as 300 student poster presenters, including a few directly from China and Europe. The majority of participants came from university honors programs and colleges. Jordan and Rodriguez both qualified for the poster presentations, and made lively presentations among a very select group of student researchers.
