Honors College opportunities

The Honors College encourages all students to explore other cultures and offers a need-based fund each year that can help defray costs associated with our trips.

Honors Beyond: The Mentorship Network aims to foster personal and professional growth among honors students by connecting them with a diverse array of mentors, thereby enhancing community engagement, program involvement and student retention.

The Honors Student Council is an inclusive group aiming to serve and represent the student body of the Honors College. By joining the Honors College, students are automatically part of the Honors Student Council.

Students in the Honors College at the University of Nevada, Reno may be eligible to join or be selected for honor societies, including Phi Kappa Phi and the Golden Key International Honour Society. Learn more about these opportunities.

The Honors Residential Scholars Community is a living learning community that provides honors students the opportunity to share academic experiences, participate in social activities and live with other honors students who share an interest in global issues and awareness.

Every first-year Honors student is paired with a Peer Mentor, who supports them in HON 109 and HON 215 seminars, hosts events, holds weekly office hours, and provides guidance on honors and university life, while enrolled in HON 210 Honors Leadership and earning co-curricular honors experiences.
