A New Chapter Begins: Welcoming Our Newest Honors Students for Fall 2026
More than 800 incoming students officially joined the Honors College this fall at our first-ever Honors College Induction Ceremony! The celebration welcomed students to the Honors community and gave them a glimpse of the exciting experiences, opportunities, and connections ahead. As part of the induction, each student received a special Honors College pin—a symbol of their membership in the Honors community and the journey they are beginning.
From research and leadership to service and community engagement, our newest honors students are beginning an exciting journey filled with possibilities. And, of course, we couldn’t welcome our newest class without recognizing a very special member of the Honors community — MacKenzie, who was officially inducted alongside the incoming students! Woof!
We’re excited to see where this new class of honors students will go and all they will accomplish along the way.
Welcome Honors College Class of 2030!
