As Director of the Honors Program, I’m pleased to welcome you to Shepherd University and to the Honors Program website! By now you have discovered some of the things that make Shepherd University a wonderful place to study and grow, but I hope you’ll also spend some time here on the Honors page to learn about the advantages of being an Honors or a Scholars student at Shepherd.
One of the first things you’ll notice about Shepherd’s Honors Program is that it offers you an opportunity to be a part of a vibrant, exciting, and inspiring academic community. The programs are designed to challenge and to support our finest students, so you can make the most of your university experience. Honors work can enhance any major or program of study at the University, and participation offers a number of unique benefits, including smaller and more interactive classes, frequent field trips and outings, and special social events. Plus, Shepherd has its own Honors Center, which boasts suite-style housing, a study lounge, and a computer center just for Honors and Scholars students.
I know that you’ll be excited about all that the Honors Program at Shepherd has to offer, and I hope that you will contact me soon with your questions or for more information. I look forward to hearing from you!
