(un)Honors Work Continues

Sent: June 18, 2021

From: Vincent J. Del Casino, Jr., Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that we have launched a summer working group to build upon the great ideas proposed by the 2020-21 (un) Honors Task Force. See here for the Task Force’s presentation to the campus community last month.

The summer working group includes representation from faculty as well as student affairs. Its charge is to imagine a program that is innovative and interdisciplinary, and that speaks to the concerns of this region and this moment. 

Please share your thoughts or feedback with members of the working group. We hope to present some recommendations to the wider campus community this Fall.

Sincerely,
Vincent J. Del Casino, Jr.
