The University Honors Program welcomes all returning and incoming honors students to the Fall 2010 semester.
Students who meet the program qualifications are welcome to apply online any time during the year.
It's time once again for the Honors Freshman Retreat! Each year the Honors Program hosts a retreat for incoming freshmen and returning honors students. Students can apply for the retreat online.
All honors students living in Butler, the Honors Living Learning Community, are required to attend. Please find more information on the retreat here. Pictures from last year's retreat are available.

Please join us in congratulating Melanie Liddle for being selected to receive the 2010 Staff Council Tina G. Schultz Staff Excellence Award. This award is given annually to a staff member whose actions, deeds and work ethic exemplifies overall excellence in service to Texas State. Melanie Liddle has served as the administrative assistant for the University Honors Program for four years and she has grown to be the kind of presence appreciated by students, faculty and staff. Responsible for answering honors emails and phone calls, scheduling a multitude of events and meetings, supervising student workers, planning and holding receptions, and being one of the main faces of Honors, Melanie is a pleasure to know.
Please join the Honors staff in congratulating our graduate assistant, Desareé Williams, for being selected to receive an Alpha Lambda Delta Graduate Student Fellowship. Students who have a 3.5 GPA or higher and are in the top 20% of their class during their freshman year of college are inducted into the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society and receive lifetime membership. Each year, ALD awards 23 graduate fellowships to eligible alumni. Desareé is currently a second year graduate student in the Department of Anthropology at Texas State.
