Achievement and Opportunity
 The
Robert E. Cook Honors College is all about achievement and opportunity
and caring about you as an individual. The professors and staff
spend loads of time with us, learning our desires and dreams and
coaxing us to dream bigger. They take their personal time to help
us see the possibilities and then do something about it. Most
of us would never have ventured out this far had it not been for
the support and gentle nudging of our mentors to expand our possibilities.
This is a very supportive environment for reaching high. Students
in our community aren’t cutthroat competitors eyeing each other’s
grade or scholarship application. We have a different culture
here. We support each other and celebrate each other’s successes.
And that translates into everyone from professors to classmates
helping to assure that you graduate with the best possible education
and the best possible credentials so you can do you want to do.
The Honors College provides internships, study abroad, employment
related to our majors, volunteer work in our fields to give us
experience, opportunities to attend and present papers at conferences,
and openings to publish our work. Very cool stuff for undergraduate
students. We get opportunities that many students do not. Think
about it. How many of your friends in college ever talk about
presenting papers at national conferences?
The Honors College faculty and staff take the time to help us
develop a four-year plan and find the right opportunities to complement
their educations. Instead of seeing a sign on some bulletin board
about a possible internship or program, people here will be sending
you e-mails about a special opportunity that looks right for you.
Students can even apply for support from the Honors College Achievement
Fund when an opportunity turns out to be too expensive for the
family budget.
