"The Honors Program has encouraged and pushed me towards pursuing volunteer opportunities and internships that I probably wouldn't have if I wasn't a part of the program. It has also provided scholarships that makes life much easier. It has given me a sense of belonging to a community, which comes from having a network of like-minded students."
