Honors Faculty Fellow Lectures
The Honors College Faculty Fellows program encourages curricular innovation, giving faculty the opportunity to design new Honors College courses that also fit within the General Education Foundations (GEF) course framework.
Each fall, the Honors Faculty Fellows give stud ents and WVU community members the opportunity to learn more about a topic related to their Honors Foundations Course s. See the 2021 Honors Faculty Fellows Lecture Series schedule here.
