Welcome to the University Honors Council's website.

The University Honors Council is an elected group of 18 students who serve as the governing body of the Shackouls Honors College. The members of the Council represent more than 1,000 participants who come from every college and school.

Honors Council positions are filled by fall and spring elections and are open to all current MSU Honors students (3.4 cumulative GPA required). Students must fill out a form of intent to be nominated. Five seats are held open for freshmen and transfer students for the fall elections.

If you are elected to the Honors Council, you would serve on one of five standing committees: Activities, Administration, Communication, Recruitment, or Finance. You would also be expected to attend weekly council meetings on Wednesday nights at 7:30 PM, as well as scheduled committee meetings. Also, you must work one hour each week in the Honors main office and be willing to participate in council-sponsored events.

You can be involved with Honors Council activities without being elected. Just volunteer! All committees are open to all members of the Honors College. In addition, all council meetings are open to anyone. You may make suggestions to any one of the council members or present your ideas at one of the meetings.
