3. Browse this gallery of Graduate Profiles

Among the graduating Honors Huskies who have chosen to create these profiles, you will find a wide range of passions, values, backgrounds and plans for the future. Each graduate has gone above and beyond the requirements of earning a degree in their major(s) and each path has been uniquely profound. They are united by shared experiences, the practice of deep reflection and creative problem solving, a belief in the value of multiple perspectives, and a willingness to listen with compassion and pose challenging questions.

Some Honors Huskies are still working on their profiles! If you don’t see your favorite graduate in this gallery, you might want to look again when we send our end of year email later this summer.
