The Honors College has partnered with the Counseling Center and the Division of Student Life to launch an embedded therapist initiative within the Honors College.
Honors students have many opportunities to vie for prestigious scholarships, fellowships and other awards, some internal to the Honors College, others external. The Honors Experience provides the perfect platform to prepare students to apply for prestigious honors.
