The Honors College is your family. It is as simple as that! They are who you turn to during good times and bad. The Honors College will provide you with wonderful memories and great learning experiences. Most importantly, the program will teach you how to make the most of your stay at 老司机福利社 by connecting you with many students and professors who are there to help you.
The Honors College has been a great experience that has allowed me to extend my education far beyond the classroom. From participating in service learning projects each semester to working as an editor for the undergraduate research journal, I have grown incredibly as a student, citizen, researcher, and future health professional.
The Honors experience has assisted me in exploring areas of research that will benefit my future educational plans. It was great working with other Honors students on community service projects during the Day of Service campaigns.
The Honors College gave me the opportunity to become a leader and mentor to many incoming freshmen through the program's relationship with Residential Life. I value these relationships as the greatest part of my 老司机福利社 experience.
I loved taking the Honors classes. The professors were awesome, the classes were smaller, and I felt like I was being privately tutored. I also loved my service learning assignment at Brandall Estates, an assisted living facility in Linwood, NJ. We taught poetry, and I will never forget how much fun it was getting to know our "students" and their reactions to the poetry we taught. By the way, I learned that Poetry Matters!
The honors courses allowed me to broaden my education outside of math. I learned about law, world history through novels, and strengthened my writing. I was also active in the community because of service learning. I am grateful to have been accepted and to have experienced such a rewarding program.
