The Honors staff works closely with the Honors Council (HC), a group of elected Honors students who often act as the student voice on Honors Program issues. HC is your organization. It provides you with an opportunity to get involved and make the most of your college experience.
Participating in the Honors Council is a great opportunity to obtain experience as a leader of a very active university community organization. There are committees established within HC to address the myriad interests and concerns of Honors students. The Honors Council executive board consists of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, the committee chairs, and a representative to the Honors Board of Associate Directors (HBAD).
The Honors Council meets every Wednesday, 7 p.m. in South A 124-125.
Hope to see you there!
