Professional attire is most appropriate for Honors Day (slacks, dress shirts, skirts, etc.).
Students will have one interview for the Presidential Scholarships. The Presidential Scholarships range up to full tuition for four years. Each interview will be with a member of our faculty and a university administrator, and will last approximately 20 minutes. The interview is an effort to get to know each student a little bit better. The interviewers will not be asking questions designed to mislead or confuse students. Questions in previous years have revolved around activities and interests; books, journals, or articles read outside of the classroom; what's happening in the world today; and an inspirational person.
Other activities include a session on the University Honors Program, and Undergraduate Research opportunities.
