Educating students and inspiring them to become leaders is the mainstream of our mission at the Albert Dorman Honors College. Honors scholars are taking leadership initiatives to understand and address some of the challenges and issues that have high societal impact, not only regionally but across the globe. While some students explore ways to improve quality of life in developing or economically challenged regions of the world, others are learning pathways of innovation to entrepreneurship. Networking with real-world leaders and taking creative initiatives while working in multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural teams with the goal of making a difference in social, economic and environmental fabrics of our global society is a part of the Dorman Honors College experience.

Here are some of the leadership initiatives and examples of teamwork that inspire all of us to be creative thinkers and take a step forward for the betterment of society and our environment.
