Honors Leadership Academy
Numbers in the Honors College are growing again this year, with 693 first-year students in this fall’s class of 2028, exceeding last year’s count of 593 first-year students.
Honors College alumna Maya Huffman, a native of Toledo, graduated a semester early from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø in December 2022, as a double major in psychology and political science with a minor in pre-law. Her story is not only one of academic achievement but also one of community engagement and a commitment to addressing important societal issues.
On Saturday, April 22, 2023, the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Honors College recognized graduating seniors at its annual Senior Honors Luncheon. This event congratulated Honors College members for their upcoming graduations in the spring, summer, and fall of 2023. Seniors were able to unwind as they met with staff and alumni to applaud their accomplishments. Attendees of the luncheon also heard from Denise Harrison, recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Honors Faculty Award and Gary F. Bengier, recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Honors Alumni Award.
Choosing to attend a college or university is a major decision for any high school senior. The COVID -19 pandemic made this choice even more difficult as the lockdown thrust many students, instructors, and staff into a fairly new form of untested educational format in online telecommuting rather than in-person instructing.
