Presentations

Defining Success in Honors

Format: General Session
Presenters: Dr. Ellen McWhorter, Quinn O’Sullivan ’20, Arpi Parseghian ’20 

Description: What does “success” mean to honors students? At which point does a grade or experience become a “failure”? We explored the standards honors students hold themselves to, how these compare to general college-wide standards, the Gen Z psychologies guiding student perceptions, and ways for programs to support positive student experiences.
