Students co-facilitate the freshman orientation course, participate in faculty development workshops, serve on the Honors Program governing committee, and function as equal partners in the redesign of the program s curriculum and requirements.
Administrators routinely teach honors courses and seminars.
An Undergraduate Research Opportunity program pairs honors students with faculty mentors. Throughout the program, students, faculty members, and administrators operate as collaborators in the learning process. Honors courses, even if they are housed in a particular discipline, incorporate material from multiple disciplines and encourage critical thinking. Specially designed interdisciplinary seminars are offered each semester. Recent topics have included Political Psychology , Future Trends , World Mythology , The American South , Asian Culture , Physics and Metaphysics , Women in the Arts , The Literature of the Other , The African American Experience , Self and Other , and the The Holocaust.
