Many of our student involvement opportunities take place on our Corvallis campus, but as we expand our offerings to OSU-Cascades and Ecampus, we plan to add more engagement opportunities.

Honors College Community Connector App

The Honors College Community Connector app was developed by two students to provide students a way to see events occurring in the Honors College on their phones. The app lets you see upcoming events and resources for multiple campuses. Download it here.

Honors College Student Association (HCSA)

The Honors College Student Association (HCSA) is an organization for all HC students. Students in this student organization are involved in campus activities in both big and small ways. A shared leadership structure allows for empowerment of HC students in large Honors decisions. HCSA meets weekly to plan academic events, social gatherings, service projects, and trips. HCSA events include:

  • Student organized trips, including camping, skiing, and hiking
  • Annual forums on topics affecting students
  • Annual organization and participation in the Oregon State Food Drive
  • Annual coordination and selection of Outstanding HC Professor award
  • Quarterly community service projects
  • Quarterly study breaks

In addition to activities, members of the student organization serve as student representatives of the HC. In this way, HCSA provides as a place where students can voice their concerns and give feedback the college.

If you are interested in joining the Honors College Student Association, you are welcome to attend their weekly meetings posted on the Honors College Community Connector app and website, contact the HC office in LInC 450, or email [email protected]

Monday Message

The Monday Message is a weekly Honors College newsletter sent out at the beginning of every week during fall, winter, and spring terms. Each campus has its own edition of the Monday Message, which contains important information about HC events, opportunities, and deadlines, as well as campus-wide announcements that are especially relevant to HC students, faculty, and staff. Each message includes a table of contents, so topics that are of particular interest to you are easily and quickly accessible. All HC students are strongly encouraged to review the Monday Message contents each week, as it is the best (and sometimes only) source of information about a wide variety of opportunities, events, and news that can make a big difference in your HC and Oregon State experience.

HC Council

The Honors Council is a Faculty Senate committee consisting of at least six faculty members and at least two students from any campus. The Honors Council works with and advises the Dean, assisting in the curricular structure and content of the Honors College. This may include admissions, selection of Honors Faculty members, and maintenance and regular assessment of program quality. Students interested in becoming involved in the HC Council should contact the Honors College office in LInC 450 or by email.

Honors Ambassadors

Honors Ambassadors are a group of current Corvallis HC students who help represent the HC at recruiting events, connect with prospective Honors students, provide key assistance with HC outreach and can speak to the Honors experience as a whole. If you are a current HC student interested in becoming an Honors Ambassador please contact Courtney Lira, the HC Recruitment and Student Engagement Coordinator.
