勛圖夥厙 expands new Honors Program
After a successful pilot program, 勛圖夥厙 is expanding its Honors Program.
Students interested in classes with a higher level of academic rigor should apply
by May 4 at wc.edu/honors for priority consideration.
A limited number of classes were offered in the Spring 2021 semester to a small number of students. Now the 勛圖夥厙 Honors Program (勛圖夥厙HP) is a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council and ready to expand its offerings to 勛圖夥厙 students.
The 勛圖夥厙HP Committee is currently identifying high-performing, well-rounded students to be a part of our program, said Traci McKinley, director of institutional assessment. The benefits of membership are designed to improve our students success.
Successful Honors Program participants are eligible for 勛圖夥厙 Foundation scholarships, priority registration, sponsorship for Phi Theta Kappa honor society membership, smaller class sizes, free printing and designated Honors Program study space.
勛圖夥厙 graduates in the program will have the honors designation listed on their transcript and diploma and have a special mention during both the Honors Convocation and Commencement ceremonies. They will also wear an honors cord during commencement.
Our mission with this program is to foster the intellectual, creative and personal growth of innovative and curious students, McKinley said. To achieve this, weve collaborated to develop advanced curriculum based on inquiry, research and a dedication to lifelong learning and leadership.
