Living and Learning Honors College

The Honors College is built around an intensive and immersive first-year experience. All HC students reside together in a living-learning community with built-in seminar rooms, faculty fellows, onsite advising and mentoring, and creative spaces like a mini Maker Lab. Residential programming builds community around questions of shared values, identity exploration, and student leadership. These in turn support the Forum, a challenging course that develops deep, humanistic understanding, fundamental critical abilities, and professional skills through project-based, interdisciplinary teamwork. All first-year students research, develop, and pitch global change-making proposals to professional judges, bringing their community ideas and values one step closer to action. Available for HC students.
