The Honors Reading Room serves as a meeting place for honors students to discuss upcoming events, hear presentations, or just peruse the latest newspapers and magazines or watch an educational video. Awards and Honors Many honors students plan to continue their education beyond undergraduate school and are interested in the annual competitions for prestigious scholarships including the Rhodes, the British Marshall, the Truman, the Goldwater, the Javits, the Fulbright, and others. Honors students are encouraged to inform themselves about these opportunities and to apply for those scholarships that interest them. Those students who decide to apply can count on expert assistance and encouragement from the Office of Postgraduate Scholarships and the Honors Office. The Office of Residence Life has set aside a special group of rooms just for students in Honors.
Special programming is offered plus the opportunity to interact with other honors students.
Students admitted to Honors should specify on their housing application that they wish to live on the Honors wing.
