Program Office
Honors Program Organizations
Honors Program students participate actively in a variety of organizations that allow them to develop interpersonal and leadership skills. We strongly encourage our students to seek out such opportunities, whether in student government - where Honors students are well represented - the university marching band, organized sports or service on their college advisory boards. Opportunities abound, go to http://si.unl.edu.
Peer Mentoring: upper-class student volunteers lead group discussions with 6 or 8 first-year students once a week for about an hour in the fall semester. This is a wonderful way to introduce new students to the Honors culture and campus resources. For information, contact Ann Koopmann (akoopmann1@unl.edu).

Honors Ambassadors: selected students work with the Admissions office attending events for prospective students and representing the Program in on and off campus functions. Nichole Shada (nshada3@unl.edu), Assistant Director of Admissions for Honors Recruitment, is the contact person (http://admissions.unl.edu/ambassador/).
Honors Program Student Advisory Board: Twenty-one elected students have leadership roles in the Honors community, participating in Program development, recruitment activities, and organizing social events. Zachary Norwood (Zachary's e-mail ) currently serves as the Board president. The Honors Program Student Advisory Board will assume office hours in the beginning of October from 9-10 pm, Sunday through Thursday, in room 2107 (in the corner by the Commuter Student Lounge). Board members provide students insight into pressing Honors issues and act as a liaison between students and the Honors administrators. It certainly is a forum for students to come and chat with a Board member about any concerns or suggestions they might have. Also, it will provide a space to hang out in good company!
