University Honors Program âAlumni Newsletterâ
Spring 2019
Greeting from Vice Provost Cher Hendricks Greetings Honors Program Alumni, Itâs an exciting time on campus! Spring has arrived and students are enjoying the warm, sunny days after a long, snowy winter. Each day we can feel the excitement build as we get closer to the end of the semester. Students are burning the midnight oil to finish projects, write papers, complete capstone experiences, andâfor several of our honors studentsâcomplete their honors thesis and prepare presentations. Just a few short weeks ago future students visited campus for University of Idaho Bound, and several of our current honors students met with incoming students to talk about their experiences in the honors program. It was enlightening to hear their stories of living on the freshman honors floors at the Tower, learn about the research projects theyâve worked on with faculty, and get a tour of the honors living and learning community. Itâs evident that our honors students benefit from the deep connections they make with faculty as well as with each other. In the program, students find like-minded peers with varied interests. They support, encourage, and mentor one another and make lifelong friendships. Iâm sure many of you had similar experiences as honors programs students, and I hope youâll take some time to remember those days. Reach out to a faculty member that made a difference in your life. Connect with a college friend youâve lost touch with. And stay in touch with us through Instagram or Facebook to keep up with our remarkable Honors Vandal students. Have a great summer!
