Testimonials

Class of 2013
“I have enjoyed being in Honors classes primarily because of the atmosphere they provide. Most students in these classes are more driven and focused on learning than non-Honors classes. When the students are more focused there tends to be more discussion which allows the class to be a complete learning experience.”
-Sarah Conrad Class of 2013

“My peers in Honors classes have a great enthusiasm for learning that has really challenged me to understand the material in great depth!”
-Kelly Conroy Class of 2013

“The Honors Program at the Mount made my adjustment to college a little bit easier. It was nice to know that there were upperclassmen who were always willing to share their advice and experiences with me. The program has also allowed me to make some great friends who share the same beliefs and work ethic as me.”

“The environment of Honors classes is something you cannot get from normal core courses. Being surrounded by people who are as passionate and interested in learning as you are adds an entirely different element to the learning experience. Honors classes have been some of my most valuable classes so far at the Mount.”
-Derek Bridge Class of 2011

Class of 2010
“The Honors Program, beyond any academic challenges it has provided me, has challenged me to become a better person. Through class debates, discussion, dinners, and late-night conversations with fellow Honors students, I have been continually called to evaluate both my understanding of the world and my personal ethics. I have learned, through my experience as an Honors student, to always keep an open mind and to continue seeking knowledge and wisdom, as we continue to be students of our world long after we receive our degrees.”
-Karen Shore Class of 2010
