Eagle Scholars Say...

"Being in the honors program gave me the opportunity and motivation to learn how to do sound well on my own. For my honors component I created a 20-minute science fiction television pilot. This gave me experience—something most student directors lack."

– Grant ’13, Film Production

"I want to continue asking questions and seeking answers, bringing the inquisitiveness that I learned from my fellow Eagle Scholars to the workplace."

– Emily ’11, Finance graduate
