The Honors Professional

Each semester, the J. N. Andrews Honors Program hosts a series of 60-minute workshops (usually scheduled on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm) designed to enhance Honors student professional preparedness—the Honors Professional.  These sessions are co-sponsored by the Explore Andrews initiative and can be attended for co-curricular credit.  We encourage non-Honors students to join the seminars as guests and participants.  The Honors Program aims to host 2-3 workshops per semester focused on a range of professional development needs and life-skills essential to post-Andrews endeavors.  Previous workshops have discussed interview tactics for the workplace, interview strategies for medical and dental schools, statement of purpose writing, professional self-presentation on digital platforms (social media and digital portfolios), resume writing, and internship planning.  Since Honors Professional presenters are local alumni, business people, and experienced professors, the Honor Professional can be an excellent way to build a network of contacts for the future.
