"The COEHP Honors Program is a unique community of students, faculty, and staff who have continuously encouraged me throughout my years at the University of Arkansas. I learned how to be a confident leader in the Peer Mentor program, was able to build personal connections with my honors professors through study abroad and research, and I gained new friendships with my peers at COEHP Honors events. The program has truly enriched my college experience."
