Service-Learning and Volunteer Experiences

The majority of honors students beyond the first year complete a service-learning or volunteer project to fulfill the requirement. Many students also participate on an alternative break trip or participate in other pre-approved service-learning/volunteer projects. (Holding a leadership position for a student organization is not volunteering. Please use the leadership option for those projects.)

Please note that at least 25 service hours with your chosen organization are required if you wish to use service-learning to fulfill your experiential learning requirement.

Note for academic year 2020-2021: Many community organizations off-campus and certain offices on-campus offices still have volunteer opportunities and have made efforts to have safe and socially distant volunteer experiences. You are welcome to volunteer with them, if you want. Remember, the Honors Program is not requiring face-to-face, in-person volunteer experiences.

If you are interested in an alternative break trip, please visit our alternative break trips page.
