Honors Program Mentoring Activities
Each honors student will have a faculty mentor. The faculty mentor will be the student's advisor, meeting with the student as needed. The honors student may choose a mentor or the program director will create a match.
Among the mentor's roles will be to guide the student through his/her academic career, helping with selecting courses and advising the student on how to achieve academic and personal goals with optimum success. The student will also benefit from special counseling services designed to match students with scholarship and grant opportunities. In addition, mentors may be able to help students obtain part-time employment in areas related to their career goals and assist with their transfer to senior colleges and universities.
Transfer Alliances and Agreements
A major goal of the HCC Honors Program is to encourage our students to transfer to recognized, high-quality senior colleges and universities. To accomplish this goal, the Honors Program seeks to develop liaisons and establish agreements with honors programs at transfer institutions and to facilitate access to honors scholarships at universities.
