John Doll '23
Major: Computer Science
“The student-faculty relationships in Honors courses are just amazing. The advisors really get to know you and care about how your classes are going and what they can do to help in any way. All the professors I’ve had for Honors courses/extensions have been very helpful in organizing/creating the Honors portion of the class and have been supportive throughout the length of the project.”
Bernadette Ebri '21
Major: Biochemistry and Family Science
“The Honors experience both pushed me and supported me to explore my various interests while at 兔子先生. The Honors community has given me a home within the larger university to be surrounded by like-minded individuals with various academic interests. I know for a fact that the friends I have made in Honors are going to change the world!”
Charles Lynch, Jr. '21
Major: Kinesiology and Premedical Studies
“Honors provided me with a community of highly motivated individuals to challenge and support me in my own journey throughout college. I was also a resident assistant for two years in the Honors dorms, and I felt grateful to have the opportunity to give back to the Honors community by supporting and mentoring first-year students.”
Trevor Minyo '24
Major: Business Economics
“Honors gets you access to the smaller, Honors-only sections of a class. You can form closer relationships with your peers and professors that create a more engaging class. Honors professors also tend to be proactive in fostering a faculty-student dialogue that makes them more personable and approachable.”
Morgan Uveges '21
Major: Political Science and Economics
“Honors encouraged me to go outside of the boundaries of what is typically expected in the classroom. For the past four years, I have been supported and encouraged in all of my endeavors, and I ended up trying new experiences that have helped me to grow academically and personally. My [Honors thesis] project extended what I learned in the classroom into the real world. It was so fulfilling to work on this project for over a year and come to a result that I am extremely proud of.”
