Transforming Lives through Experiential, Interdisciplinary, Reflective and Integrative Learning

UC's University Honors Program's vision is for students to be transformed through their honors experience. The UHP helps students maximize educational opportunities while discovering and pursuing passions in life and using gifts and talents to make meaningful contributions to society. Based in experiential learning, we focus on learning opportunities in four thematic areas – community engagement, global studies, leadership, and research/creative arts. Methods for guiding students in experiential, interdisciplinary, reflective and integrative learning will be shared, with a strong emphasis on reflection. Methods and practices to be discussed include academic advising, a one-credit hour Gateway to University Honors course, honors seminars, coaching students through honors experiential learning projects and the development of honors learning portfolios.
