IAUPR’s Ponce Campus Honors Program underwent a reconceptualization process to strengthen its administrative and academic structures. This was achieved through focus groups, online surveys, class discussions, and creative projects. Focus areas included, but were not limited to, recruitment, retention, curriculum, mentorship, faculty selection, leadership development, and community service.
