The WAU Honors College seeks to partner with academic departments and organizations both on and off-campus to provide distinctive leadership and service opportunities for its students.  To complete their interdisciplinary majors or minors, all Honors College students are required to complete three Leadership and Service Activities (worth one credit each on a student’s transcript) over a three year period.  Ideally, each Leadership and Service Activity should require a commitment of two semesters from the student, but the Honors College is open to discussing exceptions to this guideline. In order for an activity to be approved for Leadership and Service credit, the sponsoring organization must submit an application to the Honors College detailing the duties, duration, learning outcomes, and expectations for participating students.
If your department or organization has positions or activities that would offer measurable leadership and/or service learning outcomes, we encourage you to complete this application at the earliest convenience to have an activity listed for the Fall 2018 semester. Â Please be as detailed as possible. Â The information you provide in this application (if approved) will assist us in promoting this activity to your students.
If your organization requires feedback on an application or assistance in identifying how your activity may meet the Honors College learning objectives, we would be happy to advise you throughout the process.  We also encourage you to consult our Leadership and Service Learning Objectives as you complete the application. If you have any questions about the application process or require advising, please email honorscollege@wau.edu.
