Honors College Engagement Pathway Requirements
In the Honors College we strive to build a sense of community, the kind you get at a small liberal arts college, but with all the resources of a major public university. Community begins with your engagement.
Engagement can take many shapes and forms, from building more intentional relationships with faculty and playing in a music ensemble, to seeking service opportunities and being more academically involved. The events, workshops, and activities that are part of the Pathway are curated with the purpose of enriching your life and giving you an experience that transcends mere classroom learning.
Beginning with the 2022-2023 academic year, students can track their progress and see upcoming events via Panther Connect, https://pantherconnect.fiu.edu. Additional events can be found in our weekly Honors College email and Instagram @FIUHonors. The HC Engagement Pathway will go live on September 6th!
