Honors Program alumni have chosen many different career paths. Graduates may be found in business, communication disorders, law, journalism, marketing, media, medicine, public health, public relations, theatre, and other fields. As undergraduates they were drawn to the Honors Program because they were independent, creative, intellectually curious, passionate about learning, and socially responsible. During their undergraduate years they were engaged with learning and sought opportunities inside and outside the classroom, including research projects, internships and study abroad. They collaborated with faculty and staff, other students, and mentors outside the university. A Strada-Gallup Alumni Survey questioned college graduates about their sense of life fulfillment. Graduates who established a close connection with a mentor, undertook an independent academic project, and were involved on campus reported the greatest life satisfaction following graduation. Graduates of the Honors Program worked closely with faculty, completed a thesis or project, and were involved in service to the campus and wider community.
