Honors College Faculty Resources

Landing site for all things Honors at Wichita State University.

Find here key resources for faculty engagement in the Cohen Honors College: mission, course expectations, ways to get involved, and more.

Each semester, more than 60 faculty and staff from across campus are engaged in Honors. Honors-affiliated faculty and staff work individually and in collaboration with their colleges to increase student opportunities across campus and lead students to do more meaningful work.

Honors faculty fellows develop independent or collaborative projects to advance Honors education and high-impact practices across campus. They research best practices, develop preliminary honors course or research project designs, develop new academic programs, and present project outcomes, when relevant, to the Cohen Honors College Faculty Council. Fellows are expected to share their Honors work with their departments and colleges to promote additional understanding and collaboration.

The Honors College Faculty Council consists of 9 Faculty, one from each of the Senate divisions; the College Dean, ex-officio non-voting, and the College Advisor, ex-officio non-voting. Find here members, activities, agendas and meeting minutes of the Honors College Faculty Council.
