Honors students try to, and are expected to, "do it all." As universities push for more involvement in university life - whether that be joining clubs, participating in student government, or attending sporting events – honors programs seek to do the same to build community. Extracurricular activities are time-consuming, and, when coupled with advanced coursework, create time-management issues. Many students, from freshmen to seniors, find balancing university life with honors life and classes to be a challenge in itself. How can honors programs and colleges have effective student government membership with all these demands?
