The SPCC Honors Program provides students with opportunities to collaborate with faculty mentors by designing projects based on personal interests that connect to learning outcomes in their enrolled courses.
Students work with a faculty mentor to create an honors contract that details their intended project. Upon submission to and approval by the Honors Program Committee, both the student and faculty mentor sign the agreed upon contract.
Completed projects allow high-achieving students to enrich their traditional experience via an intellectually challenging addition to the curriculum and to showcase skills such as:
- Independent critical thinking and inquiry
- Effective oral, written, and visual communication skills
- Proficiency in information and technology literacy
- Social responsibility and advocacy
