Building Our Community Through Involvement: The Honors Program Experience
The Honors Program offers a wide range of enrichment activities, including guest speakers, service learning programs, Honors
faculty discussions, reading groups, cultural events and trips, and a variety of other opportunities. In addition to attending
these events, student leadership positions are available to Honors students in a variety of areas. For more information regarding
the opportunities listed below, email the Honors Program at honors@bgsu.edu or call us at 419.372.8504.
- Honors Program Ambassador
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 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.
Orientation Leaders help facilitate the Intro to Honors orientation people. Introduction to Honors (in conjunction with the BGeXperience) is a comprehensive program designed to
welcome, orient, and prepare students as they transition to college.
Upperclass students who have successfully completed HNRS 2010: Introduction to Critical Thinking are eligible to serve as
Peer Facilitators. These students help faculty design their section of the course, facilitate class sessions, and serve as
strong role models to incoming students in the class.
Student Advisory Board (SAB) members provide advice regarding the evolution of the Honors Program. In particular, SAB members
offer input related to program requirements, course offerings, faculty and staff expectations, and student involvement and
learning community expectations.
The Tuition Raffle is the second largest student-run fundraiser on campus. Tuition Raffle committee members work together
to coordinate all aspects of this project.
