The Honors Student Council is composed of representatives of each Honors hall and interested students. The council seeks a broad cross-section of Honors students who vary in major, interests, hometown, and background. The Honors Student Council makes policy recommendations, discusses issues affecting Honors students, and serves as a crucial conduit of information to and from students. Their meetings on Wednesday evenings at 5 PM are a lively time for building community and planning philanthropic events. For more information, please visit their web site: http://clubs.asua.arizona.edu/~hsc/

Thanks to these hard working advisory boards, a number of significant work of these advisory boards and Honors College staff, we have accomplished significant policy and programmatic improvements:

  • creation of First Level Honors recognition
  • institutionalization of Honors contract
  • Honors representation on Undergraduate Council and University-Wide General Education committee
  • creation of Honors Student Rights and Responsibilities
  • increased cooperation across colleges
  • heightened recognition of outstanding Honors advisors and faculty
  • creation of Commitment to Diversity statement
  • improved communication to faculty, students, and alumni
