Honors Information Peers 2025-2026

A group of Honors College students stand in front of Allen House.
HIPs, here in front of Allen House, are here to help you and guide you!

The Honors Informational Peers (HIPs) lead enrichment activities for fellow honors students, answer questions about course scheduling and honors requirements, and help create a stronger sense of community for the nearly 2,000 honors undergraduates currently enrolled at UMass Lowell. Don’t hesitant to reach out to the HIPs.

HIPs also host events in the Allen House on Monday through Thursday from 5–9 p.m. During these events, students can meet with HIPs to ask questions about honors classes, schedules, and more. HIPs also work to bring new programs to the Allen House and build connections.

Now, let’s meet some of the team!
