honors excel 2020 program affiliates

The Honors College is excited to introduce eight new Honors Experiential and Community Engaged Learning Program Affiliates for the 2020-2022 academic years. 

Program affiliates guide Honors EXCEL students through the development and implementation of their long-term experiential learning projects. By teaching the required Project Development and Summative Experience courses for the program, affiliates support and encourage students throughout the entire Honors EXCEL experience. 

With an incoming class of rising juniors from across WVU and projects including research, community service, global engagement, design, and internships, a broad scope of disciplinary expertise is necessary to support the abundant interests of Honors EXCEL students. These outstanding faculty bring diverse academic experience ranging from evidence-based design practices and technology development to grassroots women’s organizations and peace building in Northern Uganda.

The Honors College is now accepting applications for the Honors EXCEL program on a rolling basis through the end of the summer. Rising juniors who are interested in the learning more about the program can visit honors.wvu.edu/honors-excel or contact HonorsEXCEL@mail.wvu.edu.
