Honors College

Because you are a member of the Honors College, you are automatically a member of H.S.A. The association provides opportunities for honors students to participate in a wide variety of cultural and recreational activities. It sponsors lectures, social events, and community service projects that encourage students and faculty members to explore common interests outside of the classroom.

H.S.A. is a great way to meet other honors students, learn leadership skills, and stay in touch with the university community. In April, HSA sponsors the annual locks of love hair cut off which collects hair donations to make wigs for children with medical hair loss. Elections for new officers happen every spring.
