Honors College Connections

The Honors College community extends beyond students and faculty. Our alumni, Charleston-area leaders, local organizations, and friends of the Honors College all contribute towards your Honors education.

Through those partnerships, we’re able to connect you with unique and exclusive learning opportunities.
