The Honors College Student Leadership Circle advises Honors College staff on the development, implementation and review or HC student programming and opportunities. During the 2022-2023 academic year, the SLC will contribute to several projects, working with HC staff leads. These projects vary in duration and time commitment, and they are described below. Interested students are invited to select which projects they are interested in contributing to by Friday, October 28. Students will then be contacted by project leads to coordinate initial meetings.
All current Honors College students are welcome to participate in the Student Leadership Circle. We cannot guarantee that each student's first choice project will be open, so we encourage students to indicate each opportunity the are interested in engaging with. New projects may be added later in the year and will be announced in HC media.
