First-Year Honors Community

Who is eligible? All First-Year Students in the Wagner College Honors Program are invited to apply for the First-Year Honors Community

Location: Harborview Hall 6th Floor
Faculty Associate: Director of the Honors Program

What better way to meet the people in the Honors Program, than to live down the hall from them? In a place where floor-mates and classmates are often one in the same, students in this community support each other personally and academically.

Honors students are often described as driven, independent thinkers, and committed to achieving their goals.  As a result, residents get involved in creating events and programs that meet their needs—which is often not another lecture.  For example, last semester, residents left the stress of campus behind and had a picnic in Clove Lakes Park, just down the hill from campus.
