Honors PASSHE
PASSHE Conferences and Opportunities
Did you know that as a member of the Millersville University Honors College you are eligible to apply for the opportunity to spend almost two weeks in another country and earn honors credits?
Every summer since 1985, The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) has sponsored, and one of the State System Universities has hosted, a summer honors program that takes place on the campus of that university and in another country.
Two honors students from each of the participating state system universities are selected to participate each summer. The program of study generally lasts approximately 4 weeks. The cost of tuition, room and board, travel and program related trips are covered in full for each student selected to participate in the program.
Honors colleges across the state have also banded together to create an annual PASSHE Honors College Conference. Millersville's Honors College participated in the first annual conference and hosted the second annual conference, both times sending a handful of selected students interested in organization leadership to network and brainstorm with their colleagues at schools like Lockhaven, West Chester, Mansfield, and Shippensburg.
PASSHE Honors Student Development Conference 2019
The PASSHE Honors Student Development Conference is a student-run conference held at the Dixon Center in Harrisburg that brings together Honors College students from each of the PASSHE institutions for a day of discussion and debate. Over the course of the day, students attended small group sessions with topics such as: community service, scholarships, leadership, curriculum innovation, and honors college opportunities. Each session consists of a panel of representatives from three PASSHE schools so participants could hear different viewpoints and ask questions. Concluding the day will be a summary of the key ideas discussed at the conference and of course many pictures to document the experience!
