As Honor Scholars, students pursue independent and interdisciplinary study with the guidance of a faculty mentor. As a result of students’ intellectual curiosity and faculty support, innovative research, ideas, and projects emerge and grow.
Take Lindsay Dustin ’14, a Vet Tech major and Honor Scholar, for example. She is launching a new interdisciplinary course called “Veterinary Forensics” in the fall 2013. With the support of Professor Sarah Lefebvre and Forensic Science Program Director Jim Jabbour, Dustin’s class combines her passion around the issue of animal abuse and neglect with veterinary technology.
Thanks to the generosity of the Webster’s and other donors, students receive the professional preparation they need to achieve real-world success. In the future, Dustin can show potential employers her accomplishments as an Honor Scholar since her pilot course has the potential to be offered permanently.
