How has HSP participation enhanced your college experience at UNI? It has been great to work with other students who are also high-achieving and hard-working. I have met a lot of people in the program who I can relate to. HSP has made my time at UNI a lot more fun and rewarding. Not only can I participate in fun events, but also help incoming honors students with their transition to college.

How has your HSP experience prepared you for life after UNI? I have learned how to be more creative, responsible, and unique. HSP has provided me with many opportunities to learn from professors and other honors students. The program has many volunteer opportunities that have allowed me to give back to my community. I learned how to interact better in a group and brainstorm ideas for the program. I am sure that I can apply all of these skills once I graduate from UNI in any other leadership position that I might have.
