HNRS 0101 - Honors Discovery Seminar

Credits: 1

A (1 credit) first-year seminar to foster the successful transition of new Honors Program students into their college lives, with the support of current Honors Program peer mentors (enrolled in the course for 1-3 credits) to help them understand university resources, expectations, and policies; identify faculty, staff, and student groups whose interests align with their goals; and provide opportunities for social engagement on campus outside of class time. Through experiential learning, with an emphasis on maximizing the use of campus resources and enhancing self-awareness through deep reflection, this course will actively engage students in their Westfield State University experience, while fostering personal and professional growth in a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment. This seminar is an elective, not required for Honors Program completion. Can be taken multiple times for credit; maximum 6 credits applicable to Honors Program requirements.

Prerequisites: Must be a member of the Honors Program in good standing to enroll.
