Honors SOAR Mentors are student leaders who guide first-year Honors students through the process of earning their Honors First-Year SOAR Badge. The Honors College curriculum is designed to make experiential learning a core element of the student experience, and the Honors SOAR program plays a key role in helping students gain a wide range of valuable experiences. Learning happens both inside and outside the classroom, with new discoveries, connections, and resources consistently offered through this program. By engaging with the opportunities emphasized in Honors SOAR, students can explore their passions, deepen their knowledge, and achieve success in both their academic and personal pursuits. This hands-on approach enriches the overall Honors experience, equipping students with the skills and insights necessary for lifelong success.
Through the peer mentorship provided by Honors SOAR mentors, students receive essential support, build community, and receive guidance within the SOAR curriculum, strengthening their educational journey and expanding their intellectual horizons.
