Letter from HSO President Amy Harmon
First, I would like to welcome the incoming freshmen to the Honors Program and Shippensburg University! I am looking forward to meeting and working with you in the very near future.
The Honors Program offers great academic opportunities, and you will be learning more about them soon. The Honors Student Organization (HSO) is the student-led, student-run extension of the Honors Program. It provides great opportunities for involvement and leadership in a variety of areas with the focus on scholarship, leadership, and service.
Incoming freshmen are an important source for new ideas and enthusiasm which are an integral part of the HSO. An important forum to discuss ideas and find ways to get involved with the HSO is to attend our monthly meetings. Shortly before coming to campus, the master calendar will be available on the Honors Program website, webspace.ship.edu/honors. It will give further details on HSO meetings, orientation events, service projects, and more.
I strongly encourage you to get actively involved in the HSO. The HSO benefits the Honors Program, the university, the community, but above all the students. Active students in the HSO form lasting relationships and share many wonderful experiences. There is more to being an Honors student than just academics, and I hope you take the opportunity to get involved with the HSO and take advantage of all the Honors Program has to offer.
If you have any questions about the Honors Program, the HSO, or Shippensburg University, please feel free to contact me at ah9172@ship.edu. See you in August!
