Williams Honors College Students

In developing their natural gifts and talents, honors students also are encouraged to cultivate their leadership skills.

This may be as subtle as active participation in classroom and group projects, or more visible roles, such as participation in Emerging Leaders or Phi Delta Epsilon.

As a Williams Honors College student, you have access to an academic adviser and would be encouraged to participate in a peer mentoring program. You'll also be notified of study abroad and service opportunities.

Our students are nationally competitive, and our achievements are recognized by graduate fellowships and awards like the Fulbright scholarship. Each honors student is assigned an Honors Faculty Advisor, who is a faculty member specializing in the honors student's major field of study.

See the list of advisors.
