Honors Faculty Fellows

Honors Advisors, Mentors and Fellows:

Many faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) make significant contributions to the mission of the COAS Honors Program. To highlight, our College has active Honors Advisors and Mentors from almost every department who support our students through the thesis process.  Beginning in Fall 2023, the Honors Program will welcome our first group of Honors Faculty Fellows.
