The Honors Institute Needs Your Help


Please help identify and encourage your outstanding students to try an Honors course next spring. We are offering 25 Honors courses that fit into most of MCC’s transfer programs.

Last semester we had over 200 students recommended by faculty and staff across the college. In addition to good grades, intellectual curiosity and self-motivation are characteristics of successful Honors students. Please keep in mind that all Honors courses are Writing Intensive, and can be quite demanding for under-prepared students and those that have not developed good study and work habits. Typically about 5% of our student-body are invited to take an Honors course.

To recommend a student, simply print out the attached application and fill in your name as the person making the recommendation. Then, with a few words of encouragement, give the application to the student. We’ve found that your personal encouragement is much more effective than a form letter from me in convincing a student to try Honors. Please feel free to suggest the student stop by the Honors office (5-212) if they have any questions.

Thanks for your help.
