"Honors has made a HUGE impact on my time here at UNO. I can say that out of all the professors and classes I've taken at UNO, the ones through Honors are the ones with greatest lasting impact." Nia Acharya, 2024 graduate in Molecular and Biomedical Biology.
"I am extremely grateful for the support and opportunities that the Honors Program has provided me these last three years. Without it, I would have never discovered many of my connections." Emma Ehmke, 2024 graduate in Criminology and Criminal Justice.
Ally Havenridge, 2024 graduate in Communication Studies, earned Honors credit for her internship with the NU Foundation: "My connection to the university will not end once I have my diploma, because I'll always be a Forever Maverick. [This internship] allowed me to truly feel as though I'm a part of the UNO community."
Anne Thomas, 2024 graduate in Business Administration, notes that "The UNO Honors Program has fostered my sense of curiosity and drive for accomplishment in my educational journey here at UNO. Not only has it provided me with unique learning opportunities, but it has also challenged me to continue growing and learning in my everyday life."
Honors grads note that "with colloquia and contracts, [they are] able to study and learn a wider breadth of subjects," while others find Honors help them "become a better critical thinker and researcher." We'd love to hear what Honors does for you!
Business Administration 2024 graduate Keegan Kenney records that "Honors provided me the foundational rubric to be able to gain valuable insight and personal perspectives from my externships. The reflection writing I completed for Honors required me to pause and think about the work itself, which presented me not only a measurement of my own growth throughout my undergraduate time, but also a method to understand how my specific role impacted the companies where I have worked."
