Who We Are

The Honors Program at Lasell is a community of students and faculty interested in discovering and maximizing their own potential as actors in the world. That world is big (!), made up of multiple fascinating dimensions, cultures, subcultures, languages, idioms, crises, challenges and opportunities. We are about finding our place in it and making our contribution to it.

There is no single "Honors type" or stereotype -- we vary widely in our backgrounds, interests, abilities, majors, and goals in life.

What joins us is a common interest in learning who we are and what we can do--and the desire to go for it.

New Honors students meet and collaborate with interesting and motivated peers from the start, and they work closely with dynamic faculty. We are deeply engaged in the local community and the classroom in ways that expand the mind and develop intellectual ability, leadership capacity, ethical sensibility, and critical problem-solving skills.

Over time, Honors students consistently distinguish themselves as leaders in every aspect of campus life and in their careers beyond. This site hopes to introduce you to some of the students and faculty who make up Honors at Lasell. You'll find here a glimpse of the variety of courses, research projects, student organizations, and community agencies in which our Honors students are involved.
