On Tuesday, March 15 we will welcome our Honors Program alumni back to campus for the milestone 30th anniversary of the �鶹��ý���� Honors Program. A celebration get-together will be held at the Feliciano School of Business Multipurpose Room from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and all Honors Program alumni are invited!

Conceived in 1985 by faculty who relished the stimulation of working with exceptional students, the Honors Program has produced graduates who succeed in every field of endeavor. Some of its alumni have gone on to study at Harvard, Yale and New York Universities, while others have gone on to careers as accountants, art scholars, writers, musicians, illustrators, social workers, business leaders, researchers and master teachers. It is worth noting that every Honors Program student who has applied to law school has been admitted.

“Now in its 30th year, the University’s Honors Program continues to attract the best students at �鶹��ý���� and offers an amazing array of liberal arts and sciences seminars each term,” notes Honors Program Director Gregory Waters. “In addition to our classes, we are really proud of the relationships that have been forged by our program, and the sense of community that has developed over the years.”

For those accepted into the Honors Program, the undergraduate experience offers an opportunity to work with distinguished faculty on advanced curricular, extracurricular and individual projects. It means greater opportunities for achievement, recognition and leadership, not only during undergraduate studies but in the years that follow.

“Being a part of the Honors Program as an undergraduate student was a wonderful experience,” says Alexandra Thelin Blackowski ’05, ’08 MA, web content manager for the College of Education and Human Services. “I got to meet so many great people, and the coursework prepared for me for future academic pursuits.”

Regardless of their specialties, passions or goals, our remarkable students found the resources they needed to grow and develop at �鶹��ý����.

“The Honors Program shaped the beginnings of my academic career, and for that, I am forever grateful,” says Thelin Blackowski. “It will be nice to get together again!”
