"The Honors curriculum gives students the opportunity to learn about human history and nature from multiple perspectives, which allows students to develop into multi-faceted learners. It further gives the opportunity to develop strong leadership, communication, and writing skills, which have helped me in my internship, research, and career aspirations. Lastly, the Honors Program gives students the ability to connect with people from multiple majors that otherwise as a college student you may never get the chance to interact with, and it has given me several unexpected but amazing friendships as a result."
