​Many of you may have heard about or even given your feedback for the external review of the Honors Program. We’ve recently received the reviewers’ assessment, so here are a few of their suggestions. Please read on and consider what you would like to see in the program as we continue on this journey to define our identity as a program and shape it into a community that helps us develop into the individuals we strive to be. 

Each March 1st kicks off the annual celebration of Women’s History Month as declared by presidential proclamation. This month-long celebration is meant to acknowledge and honor the often-overlooked contributions made by women throughout American history.

This Fall, there will be a special humanities class available for Honors students taught by Dr. Prianti called Ethics. This Honors class will have a “good life” focus, providing students with engaging philosophies and ideas from a wide range of philosophers, present and past, that will help students “live” better. Examples of this may be philosophies on how to empathize with others in understanding, or how we should respond to certain situations in a healthy way. Perhaps the most important of these philosophies of living is the category of the philosophy of happiness, which will also be explored.
