Student Leader Roundtable

The University Honors Program believes in the power of a community that brings together students from all disciplines to help solve the world's complex problems.

UHP students are leaders in almost every aspect of the campus and local community, so we are providing a space for UHP student leaders across campus to collaborate with and learn from each other. Students will navigate the challenges and opportunities in leading student groups in today’s constantly changing landscape.

The Student Leader Roundtable is a semester-long commitment. This pre-approved experience is offered each fall and spring and students receive one honors experience for full participation. This experience is fully student-driven and will cover topics chosen by the group each semester.

FAQs

When does the student leader roundtable meet?

The bi-weekly time will be decided at the beginning of the semester based on the group’s availability. Meetings are for 1 hour and students must attend the full hour each week.

Is this experience repeatable?

Students can repeat the experience to count for up to two UHP experiences and are welcome to participate more than twice for self-development. Participation in any type of UHP roundtable counts towards the maximum 2 experiences.

Can I attend both the student leader round table and the international development round table in the same semester?

We advise that students complete only one of these experiences in a semester. Students cannot represent the same organization for both roundtables if they are counting each as an honors experience. If a student will represent different organizations for each roundtable, the student can complete the interest form for both. Students who submit the interest form for both will be asked which roundtable they prefer to participate in.

How do I apply for the student leader round table or the international development round table?

Students complete the interest form for the semester and type of roundtable they wish to participate. The interest forms will be available mid-August for fall and early January for spring.

I submitted the form last semester; do I need to resubmit the interest form?

Students must complete the interest form each semester they want to participate.

I’m aspiring to be a student organization leader. Can I participate?

Students must be in a leadership role to participate. We look forward to having you when you hold a position with an organization.
