Throughout its history, the University Honors Program (UHP) has served its students well, providing them with academic opportunities, experiential learning, and a strong community of peers who strive for excellence while journeying to discover their individual vocations. At the University of Dayton, the UHP isn’t just a shortcut to early scheduling or a passive label that one receives as a freshman and eventually adds to the resume. It’s a commitment to grow, flourish, and then contribute to the common good by utilizing the resources and guidance provided as fertile soil.

The University Honors Program is excited to announce three new student associates that have recently joined our team. Each will use their unique talents and abilities to help foster new ideas, organize and plan events, and assure that all students know about the amazing opportunities the Honors Program has to offer.
