The University of Washington Honors Council is a group of faculty and staff charged with the responsibility of representing the Honors Program.
The Honors Council meets twice per year to assess the quality of programs leading to Honors (Interdisciplinary, College or Departmental) distinction with a UW Bachelor’s degree and advises the Honors Program leadership on matters pertaining to policy and changes in curricular and programmatic structure.
The Director of the Honors Program serves as chair of the Council, and members of the Honors Program staff are ex-officio council members. Other members are drawn purposefully from staff and faculty from a variety of UW units.
