HONORS FACULTY RESEARCH
Virginia Tech Honors College faculty are active researchers. Our work focuses on the scholarship ofteaching and learning and seeks to improve the undergraduate experience for all university students, both at Virginia Tech and beyond!
OUR VALUES
We value transdisciplinary collaboration of students with trusted mentors and peers who can both encourage and challenge students with their distinctive needs in decision-making and strategic action. Transdisciplinary collaboration provides direct and first-hand models which support students as they navigate the cultural diversity and economic transitions that characterize our time.
We value independent learning and advanced undergraduate research to foster students’ curiosity and self-directed educational trajectories and to maximize their abilities to engage in transdisciplinary collaborations.
We value place-based, problem-focused, and global contexts for learning in order to increase students’ use of the inclusive perspectives, purpose-driven engagement, and a sense of social responsibility that are hallmarks of the Virginia Tech Honors College student experience.
We value student participation in academic and professional opportunities, which we support through Honors College merit and experiential learning scholarships, individualized advising for national and international scholarships, and specialized professional programming and training.
The Honors College at Virginia Tech is positioning the university at the forefront of undergraduate education in the United States and is a magnet for exceptional students. A new educational framework will build on students’ disciplinary knowledge to focus on experiential learning, undergraduate research, and collective real-world problem-solving by transdisciplinary groups of students.
