The Friends of Honors Advisory Board consists of external stakeholders who, through their advocacy and support, are champions of the University Honors Program and its students. The Friends of Honors meet once per semester to provide strategic counsel to the University Honors Program Director on curriculum, programming, and more. Friends of Honors may also assist the Director in identifying internship or networking opportunities for current Honors students, guest speakers for Honors Program events, or potential donors.
