Gw's Honors Program

Throughout my speech and debate career, I’ve been known as the only “HOI-extemper” in the state. To many, the idea of double entering in one event that focuses on evaluating current events and another that’s just supposed to make you laugh seems loony, but the benefits that this unlikely combination has given me are numerous. This is why I know that it’s highly important for my college to focus on providing me with the interdisciplinary courses that will lead to the most well rounded education possible. GW’s Honors Program definitely honors this approach. Even though I plan to major in Middle East Studies, I understand the great importance of taking classes such as “Origins and Evolution of Modern Thought” and “Scientific Reasoning and Discovery”
