• W2993487617 abstract "The question What is Honors? could not have been posed at a better time for me: earlier this summer, I took up a new responsibility of directing the Western Oregon University (WOU) Program while only in my fourth year at the university. Work has commenced at WOU to prepare for the accreditation process, which is also a wonderful opportunity to think about questions such as What is Honors? The simple answer to the question is that honors is a way of life. Faculty and students in honors understand that inquiry and learning happen everyday in a continuous mode and not just in discrete courses or lab sessions. Sometimes they are formally conducted in classrooms and libraries; they happen while pursuing other activities such as watching movies or hiking in the woods or having dinner table conversations. I do not mean to suggest that honors faculty and students are the stereotypical nerds; I merely wish to emphasize the point that honors people are aware that learning opportunities exist everywhere and that they think about things mundane and profound. Of course, learning in honors does not mean the same as, say, majoring in geography. By its very nature, honors is not a field of study. Instead, honors faculty and students come from a number of different disciplines. This also means that honors offers valuable opportunities for students and faculty to interact across disciplines. The result is that years after graduation honors students will not be the ones at dinner parties to proudly pronounce that they hated science or philosophy or the arts. Instead, they will be the ones who will be able to engage in meaningful and intelligent conversations about many intellectual subjects. An ideal honors program, therefore, should be able to develop in students a way of life where learning happens all the time. In this sense, the ideal honors student will be like the ones that Jay Freyman describes: Honors students have an interest in learning, which they see both as an ongoing process and as an end in itself. Dinner table conversations with friends and family are places where there is potential for people to interact as people, with minimal conscious references to professions and degrees. In such contexts, discussions related to a movie such as Bend it Like will evoke from honors students not only images, story lines, and details about actors but also ideas that might range from the physics behind the trajectories of the footballs kicked by Beckham to the transformation of Britain by globalization or the role of religion. A movie no longer is only a movie, and honors becomes a way of life. It has occurred to me that What is Honors? was not asked any time in the interview process for my position as Director. Neither had I ever paused to think about it. I suppose What is Honors? is one of those questions that never come up because somehow such academic initiatives are taken for granted and, therefore, may warrant only a Bart Simpson-like duh! as a response. In fact, I would argue that if we have not systematically thought about the question, it is only because in our work there is an implicit understanding of honors. …" @default.
