Honors Board of Associate Directors Student Representative (HBAD) Application Fall 2022

Honors Council is in the process of appointing students to represent the Honors student body on the Honors Board of Associate Directors (HBAD), which is the oversight and advisory board for the Honors Program. By attending monthly HBAD meetings, HBAD student representatives will be the voices for Honors students and help facilitate Honors administration-student communication. Some examples of what you may do as a student representative include: report about what is happening in the Honors Community from the student perspective, ask questions, vote, etc. Honors Council will work with you to prepare for each meeting!

There will be four representatives, one from each class (one freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior). These representatives should plan to serve the full academic year. Fall meetings are on Mondays from 10:30am-12:00pm. The two meetings for the fall are on October 17 and November 14.

If you are interested in becoming an HBAD student representative, please fill out the Google Form below by FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7TH.

*Note: you do NOT need to be on Honors Council to be an HBAD representative.
