Giving
Our program provides students with innovative academic and enrichment experiences that encourage them to create a transformative undergraduate experience! Gifts from alumni and friends to the University Honors Program Enhancement Fund allow us to increase the range of experiences we offer students and to support them as they pursue their passions, generate new knowledge, become active citizens, and embrace the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.
Our students are engaged all across campus as leaders in research, the arts, student organizations, and academics.

- Through their participation in the Honors Forum, our students are offered opportunities to engage in nearly 300 co-curricular events each semester that range from special lectures and theatre performances to museum visits and workshops.
- We deliver two study abroad programs in Oxford, England, and Florence, Italy that serve over 75 students each year.
