Applications for Honors Program Class of 2015-16 Now Open

April 8, 2015 by Leave a Comment

The Shoreline Honors Program is now accepting applications for the 2015-16 class. Please recommend this to any students you may know who would benefit from our Honors Program. This program allows students to work closely with faculty on projects that they design with their mentors. Students earn 10 credits (5 of which can be used to satisfy their Humanities or Social Sciences distribution requirements).

Check out our latest brochure here and share it with any students you think might benefit from this program. Interested students can access the application form here.

I’d like to offer special thanks to all those faculty who have served as mentors (formal and informal) to our students and also those faculty that keep the honors program going with the gifts of their time and talents.

Spring Presentations
We have a very exciting group of students with a broad range of topics in this year’s program and hope that you will encourage prospective students to attend our final presentations this year on June 3, 2015 in the Quiet Dining Room of the PUB starting at 12:30 p.m. Everyone is invited.
