Applications are now open for the Honors Leadership Council

The Honors Leadership Council includes 1-3 representatives for each of the academic colleges. Together, the HLC organizes events for Honors students across campus and helps build Honors community. Students who join the HLC receive personal mentorship, grow their leadership skills, and work directly with JMHC staff to plan events that facilitate belonging among Honors students.

APPLY TO BE ON THE HONORS LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

The application closes on 03/24/2023. Students will complete a written application and a verbal interview. They can also earn points on Suitable for applying.

The Honors Leadership Council exists to serve the Honors College community in four ways: representing diverse student voices and needs; promoting disciplinary networks; building a welcoming, safe, equitable & inclusive interdisciplinary community; providing opportunities for leadership development.

The Honors Leadership Council is composed of ten college cohort teams, one for each disciplinary college. Each team is composed of one Executive Board Member and one to three College Cohort Co-Chairs. The Honors Leadership Council is advised by the Student Leadership and Engagement Manager for the John Martinson Honors College.

College Cohort teams engage and support students across the Honors College by initiating events, inviting students to events, informing students of resources available to them in their respective disciplinary colleges & across campus, and soliciting feedback & input from Honors College students. Members of the Honors Leadership Council also lead interdisciplinary subcommittees with the goal of planning and facilitating Honors College-wide events, community service, and fostering community within the Honors Leadership council itself. Additionally, Executive Board members meet regularly with the Council advisor to discuss their leadership development through theory-based mentorship. They then apply, practice, and reflect on what is discussed one-on-one as they lead their College Cohort teams.
