Focus group: Opporunity for your voice to be heard (and be given a prize)!

Hello everyone!

I hope your semester is going great, only a few more weeks left!

I just wanted to remind everyone about the non-traditional student initiative and say that it is not too late to get involved!

If you consider yourself to be a non-traditional student, which is a broad definition that may mean:

• Over 25 years of age
• Has Dependents
• Is financially independent
• Works full time
• Attends classes part time
• Did not begin college right after high school

*This definition is according to the NCES (Nation Center for Education Statistics)

Please fill out this survey and come to one of the focus groups! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9FF7TN9

These focus groups would be a more informal meeting where we just try to see what events would be best to plan this upcoming fall for this group as well as find out what your experience has been with Honors and how that could be improved!

Our overall goal of this entire initiative is to provide a greater sense of community amongst all types of Honors students!

We will be giving out a new "Soar Higher" bumper sticker to every person that attends!
 

We hope to see you soon and hear what you have to say!

Feel free to email me with any further questions or if those dates/times don't work for you!

Kaylee
