Honors Program staff appreciate the time, energy, and dedication of faculty who facilitate Honors Forum courses and mentor students as they work toward completion of Honors Contracts. These experiences are very beneficial for students who “aim higher, dig deeper.” Below are a few comments from students about their mentors.

“My experience with the honors contract really deepened my understanding of the material. [My mentor] chose projects that interested and challenged me to explore the subject utilizing many different resources. We discussed things that went beyond the normal subject matter taught in class. I definitely enjoyed my time with him and I know his mentoring has made me into a better student.”

“I loved working with _____. I looked forward to all of our meetings. She was an amazing mentor. She taught me a lot about myself and how to organize my thoughts.”

“I enjoyed having freedom to select and develop my own project. I was able to pursue my own interests while fulfilling the needs of the contract. “

“My mentor was so supportive of my progress and the subject I chose to write about. He is a wonderful professor and I think JCCC is very fortunate to have him on board.”

“____ gave detailed feedback on the writing assignments I turned in and that means a lot to me. I could tell he invested a lot of thought and energy into our honors contract.”
