Community

The University Honors Program is more than just a curriculum. The Honors Program extends far beyond the classroom, and includes a plethora of student leadership groups, events, and volunteer opportunities.

 

Peer Advising

UHP Peer Advisors are leaders, advisors, and connectors in the community who provide a valuable resource to their peers.

 

Events

From program-wide meals to carving pumpkins, exploring the city with your class to stimulating lunch lectures and faculty-led hikes, the Honors Program engages students outside of the classroom.

 

Alumni

Honors alumni go on to pursue a wide range of careers and graduate programs all over the world. We are proud of our alumni and encourage them to stay involved with the UHP through alumni events and networking with current students.

 

Housing

All incoming first-year students in the Honors Program live in the Honors living and learning community in West Hall on the Mount Vernon Campus. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may choose to live in an Honors housing community on the Foggy Bottom Campus. 

Diversity and Inclusion

The University Honors Program strongly values both diversity and inclusion, and we seek to continuously improve the experiences of minoritized students in our  program. In that pursuit, we have published our goals, progress, and university resources.
