Honors Student Executive Board
Our charter
The Honors Student Executive Board (formerly the Honors Commission) is the student governing body of the Saint Mary’s College Honors Program. The Board affords students the unique opportunity of helping to make decisions about how the Honors Program should function as well as overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Program. In keeping with the Program's student-driven focus, Officers work as a team to produce a variety of events and oversee the academic and social well-being of fellow Honors Program students.
