University Honors Student Advisory Board
University Honors is not just for students, it is also driven by students. The University Honors Student Advisory Board (UHSAB) advises the dean of the University Honors College regarding the development and performance of the College's academic programs and about College activities and projects. Every year, the UHSAB also creates various opportunities for Honors students to get involved:
- writing/producing the weekly Honors Newsletter
- coordinating tutors
- organizing events
- assisting with Board fundraisers
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact a UHSAB member or the Honors Program Office.
In addition, UHSAB seeks students from each section of every Honors course to participate in meetings and serve as a representative. -More information –
Other Involvement
Students involve themselves and participate in the community in many ways through volunteer and activism. Below is one inspiring example:
Afghanistan Girls’ School Project: The UHSAB worked closely with Solace International, an Alaskan non-profit agency, to raise money to fund the construction of a school for girls in Afghanistan.
UAA’s Afghanistan Girls’ School project was started in fall 2003 as a service project by the UHSAB with the goals of:
- Taking an active role in the positive growth of developing nations
- Creating a service opportunity for UAA students, faculty, staff and members of the Anchorage community
- Educating people about the status of women and girls in Afghanistan
- Raising a minimum of $25,000 to fund the construction of a girls’ school in Afghanistan.
Through popcorn sales, a community raffle and other activities, the UHSAB raised over $25,000 for this cause.
"I was surprised by how hard the faculty within the Honors program work and how nice the students are.”
- Cody Rall, University Honors Program Student
