UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

George Long '22 Computer Engineering Honors

“As an Honors student, you will have a much smaller interdisciplinary engineering course your first semester, and you’ll learn your fellow students’ strengths and weaknesses, which will help improve everything you work on. The Honors Program will help you go further than you thought you could, with a constant support system in place and new friends along the way. And it’s also given me the opportunity to study abroad this summer in Dublin!”   

—George Long ’22 Computer Engineering, Honors
