College should be a transformative experience—a journey of discovery undertaken among friends 和 mentors you’ll remember forever. The Mount Union 荣誉项目 is dedicated to serving students with the curiosity 和 commitment to get the most out of this journey.
Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds 和 bring an equally wide range of talents 和 interests. 欢迎所有人加入我们的社区中社区, a collaboration between students 和 faculty for creating opportunities in the areas of 社会生活, 服务工作, 奖学金.
There are also many perks that Honors students enjoy during their time on campus. 然而，最大的好处可能是那些毕业后. The distinction of having Honors on a resume or graduate school application definitely matters—everybody knows that it signifies exceptional promise—but the habits of mind that an Honors student brings to those next stages will pay off for a lifetime. 与其他荣誉学生一起工作所带来的灵感也是如此, 以及荣誉导师的支持，他们会在这里帮助你.
