Title: How Does Your Honors Program Measure Up?
Creator
Subject: Universities and colleges--Honors courses.
Description: Serving as a representative for California University of Pennsylvania’s Honors Program as a work study student during the school year as well as in the summer, I became curious as to the best marketing tools that our program has to offer. Attending conferences for the Honors Program such as NCHC, the National Collegiate Honors Council Conference, helped to provide resources and information about practices used at other University Honors Programs and I wondered specifically how our program measured up in terms of diversity, demographics, academics, and other relevant information. My sample population would be University Honors Program students that are comprised of 146 students including 46 Freshmen(completed 1-29 credits), 28 Sophomores (completed 30-59 credits), 35 Juniors (completed 60-89 credits), and 55 Seniors (completed 90 or more credits). After reading information from Roy Wilson, the President of Wayne State University, “Maybe it is best to think about honors not in terms of an end result but as an ongoing conversation about value added and all the ways that this institution and our students, faculty, and staff work to achieve excellence to benefit our whole community” (Wilson, 2015, p. 174), I decided that I wanted to survey all students within our program to compare each classes’ views on the different aspects of the program , in order to provide useful information that may grow the program even further., Honors Thesis Advisor, Dr. Leandro Junes.
