People
Honors at Iowa is its people. This might be a general truth about honors education; still Iowa realizes it in style. The pop-out menu on the left for People is the gateway to more information.
Successful in national and international competitions, our Honors Students are the making of themselves and their classmates. This is because gifted students are especially good at learning from each other — and all the more at college levels.
Biggest in the Big Ten, our Honors Student Staff is the making of Iowa’s many activities. This is because students are best at shaping programs to student interests and talents. It is also because Iowa’s emphasis on learning-by-doing begins with the programming itself.
Gifted in learning, our Honors Faculty and Professional Staff are the making of Iowa’s myriad courses and other educational experiences tailored to students with extraordinary talents and interests. This is because Iowa takes students to diverse frontiers of inquiry and creativity.
Generous in time, wisdom, and other ways, our Honors Contributors are the making of events that range from practice sessions to award ceremonies. This is because students are intrigued by forerunners and heartened by supporters. And it is because support from friends is crucial for Iowa’s continuing initiatives in honors education.
