Eye on UMSL: Honors kickoff

by Ryan Fagan | Aug 25, 2025

The Pierre Laclede Honors College welcomed students for the Fall 2025 semester with a number of informative orientation events on Aug. 21.

Students enrolled in the University of Missouri–St. Louis‘ Pierre Laclede Honors College pose for a group photo outside of the Millennium Student Center as part of annual orientation events on Aug. 21.

The Honors College is a certificate program that can be paired with any major without adding extra classes or extending time to graduate. Classes in the Honors College are seminar-style, meaning that they are based in reading, writing, discussion and critical thinking. This unique class format fosters an intellectual climate centered around democracy, civility and academic excellence. Members of the Honors College are engaged with their peers in a close-knit community of students from all kinds of majors and backgrounds, creating an invaluable interdisciplinary educational experience.
