Student Quotes

"The most memorable discussions of my college career were all with students or professors in the Honors Program. The classes, conferences and road trips lend themselves to "getting to know you" conversations that are a lot deeper than just small talk."

- Sarah Rivers, Oustanding Senior Woman 1999 - 2000

"If you want the best professors, the smallest classes and the chance to interact with motivated and intelligent students, join the Honors Program. It will give you opportunities that are often rare at the regional university."

- Russ Oates
