Honors Leadership Opportunities
Peer Mentors
Would you enjoy the opportunity to engage in a graduate teaching experience at the undergraduate level?
The Honors Program is looking for Peer Mentors for the Fall 2012 semester. Each Peer Mentor will be assigned to an HNR 101 course and also work closely with the Honors Program Director and Assistant Director. Peer mentors will work as a group to discuss common readings with the Director and Assistant Director. They will also assist in planning co-curricular activities aimed at first-year Honors students.
Duties of the mentors vary somewhat depending on the instructor and your own personal goals but all will develop leadership skills by participating in leadership training and providing leadership in the classroom, the Honors Program and the NKU community. Peer mentors will be asked to agree to a “contract” of duties, some optional and some required, in order to earn a grade for a 3 credit hour course, HNR 396: Internship.
To apply for this position for the Fall 2012 semester, please submit this application (pdf) with all necessary documents attached to the Honors House office by 5 p.m. on February 15th. If you are interested in more information, please contact Belle Zembrodt.
Honors Herald
Each semester the Honors Program publishes a student-edited journal of student achievements and activities within the program. If you would like to be involved in contributing or editing this journal, please contact Belle Zembrodt.
