Experience Coordinators

Your time in college goes beyond the courses you take –– it includes how you grow, connect and seize the opportunities around you. Your experience coordinator will help you navigate and fully engage in your collegiate journey.

Who are Experience Coordinators?

Each student is assigned to an experience coordinator, a professional staff member who focuses on your overall Honors experience. While your undergraduate academic advisor supports your major and degree requirements, your experience coordinator helps you think intentionally about your goals, interests and next-steps post graduation.

While Top Scholars and BARSC majors are not assigned to an experience coordinator, they will receive the same level of support by meeting with the Honors staff in their specific areas.


Engaging with your Experience Coordinator

Your assigned experience coordinator will:

  • Provide personalized support as you explore academic interests, research opportunities and future plans.
  • Provide guidance in navigating Honors requirements and experiences, including senior thesis, study away and experiential learning.
  • Connect you to opportunities such as internships, leadership programs and campus involvement.
  • Support you beyond academics, including help navigating challenges and making informed decisions.

Students will meet with their experience coordinator during the academic year in any of the following ways.

This is a the foundational one-on-one meeting between a student and their experience coordinator that complements academic advising. A structured and developmental conversation, it supports reflection, exploration and intentional engagement throughout the Honors experience. Aligned with their classification, a coordinator connect provides space to discuss goals, experiences and next steps while helping students navigate and shape their individual path.

This is an open and informal check-in opportunity held during the first few weeks of each semester. Experience coordinators host extended, in-person availability in their offices and Honors residence halls, allowing students to stop by for quick questions, brief conversations and early-semester support as they transition into the academic year.

A one-on-one conversation between a student and their experience coordinator, this occurs outside of the coordinator connect. These meetings are typically student- or coordinator-initiated and provide flexible support for questions, follow-up, referrals, decision-making and timely topics related to the student’s Honors experience.

Coordinator Connects are required prior to attending a supplemental meeting.

This is an ongoing series of events designed to bring opportunities, resources and pathways directly to students throughout the academic year. The individual events will connect students with campus partners, experiential learning opportunities and topics relevant to their academic, personal and professional growth. They will assist them with stayng informed and engaged with what is available across the college and university.
