We provide a forum for honors directors and counselors to share experiences and successful practices in dealing with talented and motivated students.
We are UC Irvine's partner for its annual Community College Honors Research Conference, which gives our students the opportunity to present the results of their work to a statewide audience.
We organize an annual Teaching & Learning in Honors Symposium that invites faculty and counselors to discuss honors pedagogy and practical strategies to increase student engagement in community college honors programs.
We negotiate transfer partnerships with colleges, universities, and upper-division honors programs nationwide. Students completing our programs enjoy enhanced transfer consideration at the partner-campus. See our Transfer Partner pages for details.
We annually host a virtual Honors Transfer Fair to connect our transfer partners with our students, counselors, and directors.
We award scholarships and research prizes to community college honors students.
