THE HONORS DIFFERENCE

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"The Honors Program is my window to the world. With the Connelly-Delouvrier Scholarship, I had the opportunity to study tuition-free in a city that for centuries has been an epicenter of the global community. In the small Roman neighborhood of Prati, right outside of the Vatican, I took courses on the migration routes that refugees and migrants have traveled during their ventures to Italy."

"The Honors Program gave me hands-on, international experiences that are helping me think creatively about my vocation. The Connelly-Delouvrier Scholarship, available only to Honors students, covered an entire semester’s tuition for me to study in Copenhagen, Denmark."
