Current Students—Your Honors College Experience

As members of the most unique academic and learning-living experiences, you have many opportunities--including dedicated Honors Mission-based courses (both introductory and Interdisciplinary Seminars), unique leadership positions, residential Faculty Fellows, a Learning Collaborative, research positions across all fields, career and leadership development, travel-study, co-curricular Workshops, extracurricular and social activities (ever hear of "Geek Week"?), universal merits scholarships and additional scholarship support, service learning, and community service and engagement. 

No matter what it is, you are encouraged to explore these opportunities throughout your Honors College journey and to get involved. Learn new things. Dare to try new skills. Go new and different places. Attempt the unknown. Grapple with the complex. Be curious in all that you do. And seek our inspiration and purpose.

At the Honors College we also urge you to tap into the multifaceted support afforded to all, including onsite community mentors, Honors College deans and staff, dedicated School-based Honors College advisors, the full cohort of Faculty Fellows, and resident assistants.

On this page are links to the areas you will likely need to find most often—key information that will help you shape your own journey.
