Student Viewpoints
Julia Hall ’13, Nursing
When I was a freshman, the Honors Program helped me realize that I was capable of handling the challenge of college and extra work. It helped me keep a positive outlook when classes became tougher. The program has assisted me in thinking critically through my courses and the required depth of my studies that pushes me to exceed.
Wesley Thompson ’13, Biology
The Honors Program has opened my eyes to many cultures and backgrounds, and has allowed me to expand my knowledge of areas outside of my major.
Claire Schroeder ’12, History
The part I love most about the Honors Program is the variety of exciting classes that are offered. “The Cincinnati Arts Scene” opened my eyes to Cincinnati, and I travelled to New York City for the course “U.N. Millennium Development Goals.”
Bridget Kent ’12, Mathematics with a minor in nonprofit leadership
The Mount’s Honors Program involves both Honors courses and a service component. I appreciate that the program focuses on other things like service and social events to make the experience more interesting.

Dr. Gene Kritsky, Professor of Biology
I have taught Honors classes and advised Honors students for nearly 20 years. My Honors courses are just as exciting for me as I hope they are for the students. These classes essentially become high-caliber learning communities that explore topics that have led to new research projects for my students. Honors students thrive in this environment. It builds on their talents, and it offers them expanded opportunities.I strongly believe that the Honors Program enriches an undergraduate’s career.
