Faculty Resources
What's an Honors Faculty Liaison?
The Honors Liaison in your field is responsible for being aware of Honors opportunities,
particularly the range of ways that you can earn Honors credit. They should serve
as an advocate for Honors students in their department, helping other faculty become
familiar with proposal-based offerings, and stimulating interest in participation
in Honors teaching.
Please introduce yourself to the chair of your department if no Honors Liaison is
listed. This list changes as faculty responsibilities change, so updates will be made
as soon as new information becomes available.
