For those new to Honors, HSG is a board made up of elected student representatives who help plan social and service events, meet with prospective Honors students, and advocate for Honors students in meetings with Honors faculty. Honors Student Government is a forum to plan social, cultural, and service activities; promote unity among Honors students, and foster a community of scholars within the Honors Program. All Honors students are encouraged to attend Honors Student Government meetings and attendance earns you one Honors Point.
