extremely proud of the close to 400 gifted individuals now
studying at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College and of our
more than 170 graduates. To continue admitting strong
students we need your help. Please keep us in mind when
advising exceptional students who want an outstanding and
affordable education.
The Admissions Office is always available to assist you
and your students. Please come and visit us. We’d love to
