Students are interested in everything, says Rebecca Oliver, associate director of the program. They are equally good in many areas and it ' s hard for them to pick a major if they don ' t have one. The Honors Activities Board, a student organization within the Honors Program, is responsible for planning and implementing academic, social and cultural events for Temple University ' s Honors students throughout the academic year. Some of these events include taking admitted freshmen to the program on a trip around Philadelphia, as well as offering discount or free tickets to various events in the city. The honors program is one of my favorite things about Temple. The advising is great, the classes are always interesting, and they offer a wide range of opportunities f or their students, says junior Emily Sokol. - Kenyatta Joseph ii tl ttl JUiiJl v iii Photo by: Kenyatta Joseph Freshman Jordan Klein is an honors student who played the piano at the Fall 2005 Honors Certificate Ceromony.

All students are screened for the honors program when they apply to Temple, and about 5% of Temple ' s population is enrolled in the selective program. The definite advantage of being in the honors program is the option of choosing from a wide range of smaller, more demanding courses taught by some of Temple ' s best professors. Once students have completed eight honors courses they are eligible to receive an honors certificate. Upon graduation, their transcript will read Completed Honors Program, which is certainly a plus when comes to job opportunities available to college graduates.
