"He never takes anything for granted and is always seeking more opportunities to learn more about the profession that he has chosen to go into,” said Kevin Kindle.
The Augusta University Honors Program provides all motivated and high-potential learners the opportunity to enhance their undergraduate education.
Our honors curriculum encompasses three central educational goals—knowledge, communication, and professionalism—supported through creative core courses, unique interdisciplinary seminars, and mentored projects. The process of undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity culminates in an honors thesis. Throughout the program honors students receive advising, instruction, and mentoring from honors staff and faculty and the support to present their findings at appropriate state, regional, and national conferences.

"I am a junior this year, trying to navigate through college. So, I know how hard it is to begin college! I am a pre-med, majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology, with a minor in Anthropology. I LOVE reading in my spare time (lots of different genres). My favorite book series is the Throne of Glass. Not only this, but I love watching k-dramas, too. I also like hanging out with my friends when I have time. My favorite color is pink (pastel, of course). Please don't hesitate to reach out when you're feeling overwhelmed and need help. I am happy to help!"
