The Honors Structured Mentoring Opportunity (SMO) offers students a way to gain practical and/or applied experiences while earning credit toward fulfilling Honors Program requirements.  The facilitators of these opportunities offer students hands-on, experiential learning  opportunities within a specific context/expertise/field.  These are small groups of students who select into the experience, and the facilitator is an expert within the specific context/expertise/field.  There are a range of experiences offered, and they rotate every semester.  Previous experiences include:  Newsletter Staff, Alumni Board, Creative Writing Workshops, Alumni Connections, Chamber Music (shown above with Dr. Megan Bellamy-Lanz), Scholarships–finding and applying for competitive scholarships, web design, and theater.
