Shrink Box

The Honors Advisory Board carefully considered the use of PIP and the plans we feel are of utmost importance to operate effectively.  Our top priority MUST be to have a safe and appropriate space.  While our previous dedicated space had issues, it was dedicated.  With that space (finally) being realized as unsafe, finding a new dedicated and appropriate space is necessary--and part of best practices for honors programs.  Additionally, funding for conferences as well as scholarships is necessary to provide access and opportunities for students of all ages and backgrounds.
