The PennWest Honors Program will be represented at every Admitted Student Day. An optional Honors Pathway will be offered at the March 21 event, including a dedicated Honors breakfast and presentation. Students will take a deeper look at Honors coursework, benefits, housing, scholarships, faculty engagement, and the supportive community for high-achieving students, while still participating fully in the Admitted Student Day experience that day.
