An Honors advisor and their advisees will agree on how the engagement in the major field requirement will be met as part of the Honors Plan (in Quest), and the Honors advisor will approve completion prior to graduation. The Honors Plan will provide a space for students and advisors to list a description, rationale, criteria, timeline, and communication plan for the expected engagement in the major field activity. Engagement in the major field may be connected to the Honors thesis/project or a course, but the activity must go beyond what would have been required regardless.

Honors advisors and departments should consider how students will fulfill this requirement. Ideas for professional development within the major field may include participation in a conference, an on-campus event where student's present their work, a professional organization, a student organization, or other opportunities that are related to the student's field of study.

Participation in a conference, an on-campus event at which students may present their work, a professional organization, or a student organization. Consider the following questions to help with the Honors Plan:

• What do Honors advisors routinely tell their advisees they should do?
• What do Honors advisors want Honors students to learn through engagement in their major field?
• What resources for engagement in your field exist on campus?

In many cases students complete their engagement activity before their second to last semester and the activity can be approved within their Honors Final Plan (in Quest) and then submitted for approval by their Honors advisor within Quest.
