“Thanks to the education I received at the Honors College, my college education has allowed me to be competitive and successful in arenas dominated by students from Ivy League institutions, and I have never once felt my undergraduate foundations to be any less than theirs. Studying at Â鶹ÊÓƵ also granted me an educational experience outside of an 'ivory tower' atmosphere, which enabled me to develop a more well-rounded worldview. This, combined with a sense of civic duty instilled by the Honors College social service requirements, motivated me to take two years away from pursuing my own goals to give back to my community by taking a job working with the poor.â€
