Abstract

UM’s Davidson Honors College claims many strengths: freshmen with exceptionally high test scores and GPAs, major scholarship winners, enviable placement rates, courses taught by outstanding faculty, and unique extra-curricular opportunities. In 2016, the DHC unveiled a new mission, “innovation through integration,” focused on Postdoctoral Teaching, Research, and Mentoring; Career Development; and DHC QUEST, integrated with a strategy focusing on inclusivity rather than exclusivity.
