What is HONORS?
The Honors Program at Minnesota State Mankato encourages future leaders, researchers, and global citizens. They do this by providing highly motivated students with exceptional learning opportunities, mentoring relationships, and a community of scholars that foster their development as future leaders in a global society.
The Honors Program requires their students to graduate and fulfill three competencies: leadership, research, and global citizenship.
Why HONORS?
I joined the MSU Honors Program as a freshman for two reasons. The first was that I wanted to continue pushing myself in and out of the classroom. The second was because I felt the three competency areas would help me become a teacher that could engage students no matter the age group, cultural backgrounds, or subject matter. Since joining the Program, I have had the opportunity to work closely with faculty members, serve my community, and build myself into an open-minded individual. The culmination of these experiences have greatly prepared me to start leading my own classroom.

Academic Advising Critical Incident Journal
In this journal entry, I reflect on my first meeting with my academic advisor. This first interaction set a positive tone for the rest of my first year and my time at MNSU. A student's academic advisor is an invaluable asset and I learned this very early. |
