UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORT
2003-2004 Academic Year

PURPOSE: The Honors Program provides students with an enhanced track for their lower- and upper-division course requirements. Students and faculty work together in intensive seminars, experimental classes, interdisciplinary courses, writing projects, and special activities. Members of the program earn Honors credit on their transcripts and pursue one of three different Honors degrees.

PERSONNEL: David F. Lancy, Professor of Anthropology, Director; Christie Fox, Ph.D., Program Coordinator; Kay Gamble, Executive Assistant II, Secretary, Katherine Shakespeare, Peer Advisor

HONORS FELLOWS: Kay to list along w/ their assignments

Overview: The Honors Program at Utah State has enjoyed more drastic change in the last three years than in the preceding 32 years of its history.
The most significant changes have all been triggered by change in the Provost’s Office and concomitant changes in recruiting and retention policies. In the past, Honors was seen as potentially driving away the students “High School/College Relations” was trying to recruit to USU. Now, the “Honors Pathway” http://www.usu.edu/honors/pathway/index.htm is treated as the primary incentive for high ability students to matriculate at USU. As a consequence of this new emphasis in recruiting coupled with changes in Honors itself, our Honors student body is better educated than ever before (cutoff=124 index), more committed to Honors and more interested in “stretching” themselves academically through undergraduate research, for example.

All “Presidential” scholars are now automatically enrolled in Honors 2000, the online Orientation to Honors and undergraduate research designed and managed by the Honors Program and taught by Vice Provost Kinkead. This Fall marks the 3rd iteration of that course and we’re seeing the enrollment climb (270=F ’03; 350=F ’04) along with the level of commitment and enthusiasm of the students (as reflected in a dramatic increase in postings to the online forum, for example). Many will have also been enrolled in dedicated Honors sections of Connections. This was the second year for this new initiative and the first year in which we jettisoned about 90% (next year we’ll replace the remaining 10%) of the old Connections curriculum replacing it with one of our own devising. It was also the first year for a new cadre of Honors Connections Instructors who’ve worked together as a team for six months to revamp the course. Initial assessment results are extremely positive.
Motivated by the desire to retain students who were falling in the crack between first year Honors courses and Departmental Honors, we developed a new course in 2003, HONR 2100 Inquiry. Six sections were offered corresponding roughly to clusters of interest (e.g. applied biology, social science, engineering, etc) taught by very distinguished faculty. The one credit class met weekly during Winter semester and focused on integrating students into their major, preparing for departmental honors, identifying a research mentor and line of research and pre-planning for grad school. In short, the class is designed to help students construct a road map for the rest of their travel on the “Honors Pathway” right on to grad school. One measure of the success of these endeavors was that we had 6 candidates for the Goldwater Scholarship last year with 2 winners and the previous high had been 2/1.
Personnel changes have been equally dramatic. The retirement of our Assistant Director Robyn Daines, triggered a wholesale reanalysis of role assignments. 90% of the Assistant Director’s responsibilities were shifted to Kay Gamble, who was promoted to Executive II. The Assistant Director position was renamed Program Coordinator with new responsibilities for communications, marketing, Prestige Fellowships and teaching. We were extremely fortunate to hire Christie Fox, holder of a Ph.D. from Indiana with extensive experience with Honors, recruiting and a rich teaching record. She is now managing the ENGL 2010 H class and teaching one of the two sections offered each semester (previously we’d offered 1/semester). She’s also teaching of the sections of Honors Connections. She’s very active in advising students—especially with respect to applicants for national scholarships such as the Truman and Goldwater.

Katherine Shakespeare “graduated” from a position of (Teaching) Fellow to Peer Advisor and has helped shoulder what has become a much greater responsibility to field queries re the Program and assist students in planning their Honors course of study. All of us are also much more involved than in the past with new recruiting initiatives such as Preview Day and Scholar’s Day as well as SOAR.

Mary Heers is a much-decorated, recently retired teacher from Preston High School who has also joined the Honors team during the past year. Mary developed and now teaches a repeatable .5 credit “Enrichment” class HONOR 2200. She’s teaching a section of Honors Connections and a section of ENGL 2010H each semester.

The Honors website got both a visual and structural makeover during the past year. Its coverage of Honors at every level from the broadly philosophical (Why do Honors?) to minutiae has been greatly expanded. The website is managed by Dr. Fox while Katherine Shakespeare edits the new, thrice-yearly Honors Newsletter.

Other significant developments during the past year include the establishment of an award for the most promising Honors student. Named in honors of Helen Cannon, the endowment was established by her family and friends. New Departmental Honors Programs have been completed or are under discussion for the Colleges of Business, Engineering and Natural Resources and the Departments of Social Work, ASTE, Art and Elementary Education. We are moving away from a “one size fits all” model to a more tailor-made approach. We’ve also launched a new Honors Program in Creative Writing that brings together course offerings from several disciplines.

The challenges facing Honors are all of the “be careful what you wish for” variety. We are “bursting at the seams,” quite literally. Our physical facilities are now uncomfortably crowded much of the time and we are hard pressed to respond quickly to student visitors and queries. Our Honors breadth classes have all been re-capped at higher levels to accommodate enrollment growth. So our vaunted “smaller” Honors classes have gotten pretty large. We’ve added 4 new courses to the Honors curriculum, and increased the number of sections of existing courses, totaling 15 additional course sections in three years. We’ve added additional staff, including doubling the number of Honors Teaching Fellows—all without a budget increase. Not only are we unable to expand in our present location, we have been unable to find a new home for Honors once the old Merrill Library is demolished.
To conclude, we have reached a point where Honors can legitimately claim to partner with all departments on campus in the recruitment, retention and optimization of their best and brightest majors. In return, the Program will need the political support of the campus at large to insure that we have adequate financial and physical resources to continue this service to the university.

II. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, 2002-2003
A. Fellowships, Scholarships, and Research Programs National and International Scholarship Programs:
The Honors Program serves as an information and processing center for five scholarship programs: Fulbright Graduate Fellowships, Rhodes Scholarships, British Marshall Scholarships, Harry S. Truman, Morris Udall, and Barry Goldwater Scholarships.
We invite faculty to nominate exceptional students for these awards or to encourage qualified students to apply. Our office provides materials outlining each award. In addition, our files contain the application forms students will need for the various programs. The Truman and Goldwater programs provide awards for undergraduates nominated in their sophomore or junior years. Other programs are designed for students proceeding into graduate school. The Fulbright Fellowship is appropriate both for students who have recently completed the baccalaureate and for those engaged in masters- or doctoral-level research.
Honors Program Scholarships
Three Honors students received scholarships for Fall Semester 2003:
Chad Wasden - Morse Honors Scholarship - $500
Jeffry Gittens - Honors Cash Awards - $500

B. Last Lecture
Professor of Political Science, Randy Simmons, was selected this year to be the guest speaker. His topic was ”The Tyranny of Good Intentions." He was selected by an Honors student committee.

III. RESPONSES TO THE KEY ISSUES AND GOALS OUTLINED IN LAST YEAR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Following the drafting of a self-study document and first ever Compact Plan, the Honors Program was scrutinized by an external review team in Spring ’02. The team consisted of Dr. Patricia MacCorquodale, Dean of the Honors College at the University of Arizona, Dr. Robert R. Keller, Director of the University Honors Program at Colorado State University, and Dr. Stanley D. Allen, Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences at Utah State University and departmental Honors advisor and former member of the Honors Advisory Board.

While the decanal evaluation was very positive, the overarching recommendation was that the Honors Program become much more central in decision-making regarding the university’s evolving plan for recruiting and retaining exceptionally able students. And this has, in fact, happened.

Shortly after the external report was submitted, the Director began work on a new course, HONR 2000 or Beehive Scholars. This course was designed to implement an initiative undertaken the previous year by Vice Provost Kinkead, namely, ‘cream of the crop’ (to capitalize on Pres. Hall’s milking odyssey). The problem to be addressed was that, after lavishing a great deal of attention on prospective students, once they were admitted to USU they were, effectively, ignored with predictably negative retention results. Honors proposed that all students of recognized ability should be routed to a new 1 semester online (to avoid schedule conflicts) class which would integrate students better into the university and forecast for them the opportunities and expectations that lay ahead. It included instructional modules on choosing a major, appropriate avenues of employment, scholarship and fellowship opportunities, U.R.C.O. and other undergraduate research programs, as examples. Through the course and through face-to-face meetings with Dr. Kinkead (the instructor of record), students were encouraged to air their views and seek counsel in planning their course of study. The initiative was judged a success, the only drawback being that the ‘catch’ was poor as less than a third of the target group made it into the class.

HONR 2000 was revised and renamed (Scholar’s Forum) during the summer ’03 and we’ll be reporting on the ’03 experience next Fall.

The Director, David F. Lancy was granted sabbatical leave for ’02-’03 and used a significant part of the leave to study Honors Programs, nationally. Lancy spent extended periods with Honors and First Year Experience(FYE) personnel at UC Davis, Arizona State, Clemson, and the Universities of South Carolina and Maryland. Many ideas gathered from these visits will be trialed at Utah State but Lancy’s strongest conclusion was that USU’s student population is so different from the norm elsewhere that home-grown solutions will be necessary.

During his absence, Prof Tom Peterson filled in as interim Director. There were 2 primary innovations during Peterson’s term. A new .5 credit repeatable ‘Enrichment’ class, HONR 2200 was developed and approved to encourage students to take advantage of cultural and intellectual offerings on campus. Second, for the first time, scholarship awardees were pre-registered for Fall classes in April. This included the aforementioned HONR 2000 class as well as an Honors’ breadth class, together constituting a ‘taste of Honors.’ While the pre-registration was not without problems, the ‘catch’ went up considerably, such that, approximately 85% of the target audience actually enrolled in HONR 2000 this Fall. Again the results of these efforts have been very positive and this will be reported on more fully next year.

IV. KEY ISSUES AND GOALS for 2003-2004
1. Redefine the role of the Assistant Director to more closely reflects the needs of the program and recruit a new person to replace Robyn Daines, who’s retiring.

2. Redefine and reclassify Kay Gamble’s position from Staff Assistant I to Staff Assistant II.

3. Create a new position for a Student Office Assistant
The Honors Program is growing dramatically, both in the size of the student body (through increased intake & retention) and in the programmatic offerings. This additional burden will fall primarily on Robyn’s replacement. This position, to be titled ‘Program Coordinator,’ will be relieved of the huge task of managing the Honors database. We have taken steps, and Banner will make a significant contribution, to reducing the magnitude of this task so that our Staff Assistant II can manage it, backed up by a student assistant.

4. Implement and refine HONR 2000, Scholar’s Forum (see above).

5. Implement HONR 2100 Inquiry. This is a newly developed and approved 1-credit class required of all 2nd semester Honors students. Its focus is ‘inquiry’ in the disciplines, hence there will be separate sections corresponding to Science, Humanities and so on. A second but equally important purpose is to assist students in planning a 4-year program of study that includes Honors and undergraduate research, creative endeavors and, possibly, leadership and service. Overall, the 2 primary goals are to retain students, or insure they return to USU post-mission AND to set their sights higher vis-a-vis what they expect to accomplish academically.

6. Implement HONR 2200 ‘Enrichment’ (see above).

7. Expand Honors Breadth & Depth offerings. As a result of the changes in recruiting and retention outlined here, we expect the honors population to grow by as much as 50%. We will, therefore, need to add more classes. Our first priority will be to add second semester USU breadth classes because we moved all our existing breadth classes to Fall semester to accommodate the demand for our ‘taste of Honors’ initiative. Second, we will be seeking to add several new Honors/USU Depth classes to meet demand and to diversify our curriculum.

8. Continue to refine and improve ENGL 2010H. Under the leadership of Prof. Brock Dethier, Honors has undertaken to develop a unique curriculum for ENGL 2010H (offered F & S). These changes, which are continuous, are designed to orient the class towards specific problems of writing in the major, especially as related to research proposals and conference presentations. Our work was highlighted, incidentally, at a national conference on ug research last Fall at UMD.

9. In response to our external review and at the invitation of the Vice Provost for UG Studies and Research, Honors has gotten much more deeply involved in policy-making with regard to recruiting and marketing, especially where high-ability students are concerned. Honors has developed a completely new marketing front including a new website for prospective students of exceptional promise. Further Honors has become the central strategy for retaining students of high ability through the initiatives outlined above. Initial results of these efforts are extremely promising but a fuller report will be given next year.

10. Honors continues to invest in our emerging Living Learning Community or Themed Housing initiative (e.g. Global Village). Former Honors student Shannon Jolley was selected by HFS to lead this effort. And we are moving closer to Honors dedicated housing. In particular, a partnership has been struck between Honors and HFS to relocate the Honors program to the new west residence Hall which will be at least partially reserved to house new Honors students. That this hall should eventually become the home of an “Honors College” is a distinct possibility.

11. New initiatives are anticipated with respect to Departmental Honors. First, Dr. Lancy has undertaken an outreach effort with Associate Deans to buttress the work of Departmental Honors Advisors. Second, outreach to targeted departments and colleges is anticipated aimed at developing more customized and unique programs.
