ECLECTIC SCHOLAR BENEFITS
As an Eclectic Scholar, you can take your experiences and opportunities for academic enrichment, professional development and interdisciplinary discourse to new heights. Some of the perks include:
- Henry Hall is the home of the Eclectic Scholars Honors Program. The designated living space brings together a network of peers who respect one another, the concepts of community, and the importance of academic and intellectual life. Additionally, students have access to programs designed specifically for them, as well as spaces that foster collaboration and support from peers. Qualifying students may also receive an annual housing scholarship for being in the program.
- Early Move-In – New, incoming honors first-years get to move in a day before the rest of incoming first-year students, regardless of which dorm they are living in allowing them to make connections and get settled before First Days and the start of classes.
- Priority registration – Students may register early for one course per semester.
- Free overload – Honors students may, for no additional cost, register for over 18 credit hours one semester per year.
- Peer Mentoring Program – First-year students are paired with upper-level students for additional support.
- New Student Retreat – First-year students, along with a few peer mentors, faculty, and staff, take part in half-day retreat to engage in team building activities and develop connections as a new cohort.
- Events and Activities – Students may attend both on and off campus activities including performances, lectures, and meals with visiting scholars.
