Mission And Goals
Mission
The UIW Honors Program offers open-minded, highly motivated students an increased range of opportunities through an advanced curriculum that cultivates intellectual curiosity, promotes scholarship, and lays the groundwork for professional success. The program is committed to developing conscientious, compassionate citizen-leaders who engage thoughtfully with a complex world and contribute to their local and global community.
"The Honors community is defined by achievement and excellence but the true purpose of the program is to help you find a meaningful experience in your undergraduate career. The value is in the journey and not the destination."
