Honors College Preview Day: Celebration of Scholarship and Learning
The Honors College hosts additional activities specifically for its admitted students in conjunction with our spring Celebration of Scholarship and Learning (CSL). This Preview Day provides an opportunity to view CSL poster presentations and speak with students about their research, internships, service learning, and study abroad experiences alongside members of the Towson community. For admitted students, the event also includes a question-and-answer panel with faculty, current students, and alumni, as well as a brief guided tour of Douglass House, the Honors Living-Learning Community. This occasion offers admitted students a chance to experience both the academic and social aspects of what the Honors College offers.
“ I love challenging myself and working on being a better version of who I am today. I feel the Honors College helps me do that. ”
