If you successfully campaign to join the Honors Council, you’ll have an incredible opportunity to help shape the honors program and its offerings. This is your scene if you’d like to advise program administrators and current students. You can also apply to represent Suffolk at the National Collegiate Honors Council Conference. Held every year in cities nationwide, this gathering is a great opportunity to present your own research and exchange ideas with your fellow honors students. Back on campus, you can advise prospective and new honors students as an Honors Ambassador. In this role, you’ll attend admission events and classes to help spread the word about our close-knit community and all that we offer.
We’re especially proud of one resource in particular: our honors program graduates who return to campus to share their stories and serve in Suffolk’s Ram Alumni Mentor Program. You’ll also find Suffolk alums joining current students at events on campus and in the city. Say hello! You never know what amazing networking opportunity might await.
