Ambassadors serve as positive student representatives for the Honors Program at various recruitment events for prospective BGSU Honors students. They speak with these prospective students both one-on-one and in groups. They may also provide tours within Honors Housing.
HSA is a student organization that seeks to foster learning in and outside of the classroom by providing all motivated BGSU students with opportunities to enhance their learning through alternative educational experiences and through social interaction with one another.
- Honors Scholars - formally known as IMPACT
Honors Scholars seeks to provide a challenging intellectual experience for a small group of exceptionally achievement-oriented BGSU Honors students who grow as thoughtful and committed citizens and who realize the wisdom of pursuing that growth through studying critical thinking and moral development.

HAGS exists to raise awareness of issues that all genders face in the academic world, the workplace, and society in general. HAGS works to promote an understanding of these issues within the group as well as with the BG community.
