Rose Hill Honors Events and Trips
Honors AJCU Conference Trip
Each year, every Jesuit college and university is invited to participate in the AJCU Honors Program Conference. Program directors, administrators, faculty, and students gather to discuss best practices and share innovations. From these conversations, the AJCU members have created a series of articles characterizing collegiate honors programs, particularly the distinct hallmarks of a Jesuit honors program. Fordham Honors typically takes two to four students to the conference each year. Recent conferences have been held in Spokane, Washington; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Omaha, Nebraska.
