Honoring Experiential Education (Programmatic Designs‪)‬

INTRODUCTION In the Center for Honors, Scholars and Leadership at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), we are actively pursuing expansion of our experiential-education offerings and are working collaboratively with a variety of community partners and key campus offices to develop, track, and promote opportunities for students. Our efforts focus on providing honors and leadership students with a variety of experiential-education placements and giving students across the campus opportunities to engage more fully in service, internships, and research. Central to our efforts is a philosophy that all students can choose to exercise honor in their academic careers not solely through outstanding achievement but also through out-of-classroom activities and engagement with community. Honors programs and colleges are in a unique position to foster such student experiences and promote a culture of honorable civic engagement on our campuses.
