Attention First Years!! Mandatory Check In!
To ensure you have a plan and are making good progress toward your Honors Requirements, we are requiring all first years to meet with a Peer Advisor by the end of Spring quarter 2025. Before meeting with the Peer Advisor fill out the 4-Year Check List. You can indicate on the checklist when you plan to complete certain requirements and what you think you will do for your Track and Co-Curriculars. Bring the form with you to your check in and have the Peer Advisor sign and collect the form. First years who do not complete a check by end of Spring 25 quarter will not receive priority registration in WN26.
We want to feature you in Honors NOW!
The Honors Program is launching a monthly email news brief, Honors NOW, where we will spotlight our students. We want to hear all about the amazing things everyone is doing outside of the classroom. Whether you're involved in an a club, discovering something new, participating in a project, or volunteering, we would love to know! If you are willing to share, please fill out the Honors NOW Student Spotlight form! Don't be shy! You never know. Highlighting your accomplishments is a great way to network!
