GRADUATE ASSISTANT, HONORS PROGRAM

POSITION #9006

THE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

FSU has a long history of providing recognition and support for outstanding students through its honors programs. The mission statement for these programs was provided by a faculty directive in 1932 that asked the President and the Faculty Senate “to provide enlarged opportunities for students; to give them a challenge and an incentive: to develop initiative, resourcefulness and reliance; to present knowledge in terms of fields, not courses.” Today the university supports that mission through two well-established and highly successful programs: University Honors and Honors in the Major.
