The Herkimer College Honors Program:  Where Students Make a Difference!

The Herkimer College Honors Program provides students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher the opportunity to acquire a variety of skills outside of the classroom through experiential learning.  Interpersonal communication, self-direction, leadership, emotional intelligence—these are all important to a marketable employee and moreover a productive member of society.  The Honors Program helps students actively develop these skills as they complete the 3 required courses within the program.

The following students completed their HP303 capstone projects to culminate their participation in the Herkimer College Honors Program:

Chaunsey Brown:

Chaunsey completed a project entitled “A BOWL Lot of Fun!”, organizing a bowling event to raise funds for a local chapter of the Special Olympics.

Karris Leonard:

Karris completed a project entitled “Survivors Alliance”, creating a platform to develop and provide activities to support the campus community in sexual and domestic violence issues.

Kyle Poulos:
