Mission Statement

Sponsored by the UHP and University Housing, the Honors Village enhances their missions as well as the mission of NC State University by providing a unique living-learning environment that will help participants apply class experiences directly to life experiences through

• Intellectual and affective growth;
• Personal, academic, and professional development;
• Appreciation for demographic and intellectual diversity; and
• Interaction with faculty and staff.

Objectives

Village participants will

• Take part in social, cultural, and academic programs, both formal and informal;
• Gain a sense of community (“of belonging”);
• Interact with faculty outside of class;
• Seek mentor/mentee relationships with faculty and staff;
• Appreciate diversity, especially as it allows them to better understand themselves and others;
• Respect others’ differences;
• Experience personal growth; and
• Develop strategies that allow them to succeed academically and, consequently, professionally.
