Hire a full-time professional coordinator to assist the Honors Program Director in the execution of program imperatives

T.J. Due to the program’s growth, an honors coordinator will be needed to assume responsibility over many facets of the program to assist the program director in executing large program imperatives, and to advise and help direct the trajectory of the program

Honors Coordinator should have the experience, interpersonal skills, and wherewithal to adequately meet the demands of the position. Mrs. Jessica Bullock, in consideration of her performance as part-time professional assistant to the program, was promoted to full-time professional coordinator.

Follow up with a different second form of communication.

Promotion of mini-registration dates by faculty advisors to students; utilize student retention and tracking documentation each semester to identify those close to graduation Degree audits performed on each NHS student. Letters to be sent to each student who has applied for graduation but has not met requirements. Documentation: See attached degree audit letter examples provided by the NHS Advisement Office. 5-10% of those students majoring in Mathematics and English contacted will complete their degree.
