The Honors Council is the policy advisory body of The Honors College. The Council meets to review the current activities of The College (recruitment, retention, enrollment, etc.), to consider curricular matters, to review requirements and policies, and to advise the Dean on issues of policy and guidelines.

Honors Student Advisory Board [membership]
The Honors Student Advisory Board helps to connect the students participating in The Honors College with its Dean and staff.  The Board provides input and feedback on initiatives, procedures, curriculum, and other Honors College policies.  Members of the Student Advisory Board, along with their peers on the Honors Council, serve as ambassadors and representatives of The Honors College at public functions and meetings. The Board meets monthly in its entirety; workgroups and committees get together on an irregular basis.
