From a Student:
"The Honors Program challenged me to delve deeper into the subject I was studying and gain a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the course material.
The faculty and staff of the Honors Program believed in me, even when I did not believe in myself. They encouraged me to apply for and ultimately get selected for several very prestigious scholarships. They provided me with the educational framework I needed to succeed after transferring to a university.
The Honors Program, in many ways, changed my life."
