About Us
The Honors College Leadership Council (HCLC) provides opportunities for the Honors College student body to participate, engage, and make a difference in the College and community. The Honors College is pleased to have students involved and making their voices heard as we shape the future of the College together. At this time, the HCLC is active only on the Hattiesburg campus.
Guided by an executive team and a staff adviser, the HCLC is composed of four committees: Academic Life, Community Service & Engagement, First-Year Mentors, and Honors College Ambassadors.

The Academic Committee helps develop and coordinate academic initiatives and resources (HC speakers, tutoring, programming, thesis boot camps) and assists at University Forum events.
As the official hosts of the Honors College, Ambassadors work all recruitment events for the HC, engage in outreach with prospective students (postcard writing, phone banking, etc), and help develop ideas for HC recruitment.
The Community Engagement and Service Committee fosters community among Honors students, promoting social awareness and civic responsibility. It organizes events, coordinates service, and educates on equity, aiming to create an informed, engaged student body that positively impacts the community.
Mentors are vital in the transition for first year students. Mentors are responsible for developing a relationship with first-year mentees. We create a space to help students transition into college life.
How to Join
Each spring, we will open applications for leadership positions and membership for the coming academic year. Additionally, students new to the Honors College will have an opportunity to apply for select committees (Academic or Community Engagement and Service ) in September.
To apply, students must be enrolled, in good standing with the Honors College (not on probation, cumulative GPA at 3.25 or higher), and planning to be enrolled on the Hattiesburg campus for the duration of their service.
