While the academic opportunities offered through the Honors College are outstanding, our students also find a strong sense of community as they pursue the Honors Certificate. Many develop life-long friendships through their shared interests and passions.
There are plenty of opportunities for students to build community outside the classroom. Activities include Geek Week, crafternoons, service projects, game nights and more!
Honors One ReadEach year the Honors College selects an important book – fiction or non-fiction – as its One Read. The major theme or themes of the book then becomes the focal point of Honors community activities, programming, and even courses and academic units of study.
