The program will continue to prepare students through classroom instruction and a variety of extracurricular goals in preparation for their role as leaders in the 21st century (adopted November 1988). MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: A blueprint was drafted for the Seneff Honors College; the plan includes the following curricular and co- curricular options for students to pursue: Interdisciplinary Studies, Leadership, Jeffersonian, and Undergraduate Research. On April 22, 2010, a college-wide honors summit was held at the Criminal Justice Institute; forty-four Valencia faculty, staff, and students attended to discuss the redesign of the Valencia Honors Program. In November 2010, Valencia hosted a certification seminar to train faculty to teach the Phi Theta Kappa Leadership Development Studies; in all, sixteen Valencia faculty and staff (as well as faculty from other schools in Florida region) completed the certification process. Great progress was made in the growth and development of the Valencia Honors Program at East campus; a lead faculty coordinator, Professor Keith Malmos, was named; a master template for the scheduling of honors classes was created; and a program office within the Honors Resource Center was opened. The first honors LinC class was offered in Spring 2011; Professors Tarteashia Williams and Subhas Rampersaud taught a LinC version of POS2041H, “U.S. Government,” and ECO2013Hl, “Macroeconomic”; to supplement the learning experience even further, students in the class traveled to Washington, DC, with funding from the Honors Student Development Budget, visiting the White House, the Federal Reserve Bank (in Richmond, VA) and other sites in the capitol. An honors version of HUM1020, “Introduction to Humanities,” was developed by George Brooks and approved by the Curriculum Committee; the course offers a unique focus on critical thinking skills. The traditional honors international trip was proposed and implemented following the new procedures of the Study Abroad and Global Experience office; Professors Ed Frame and Gustavo Morales led a group of students on a trip to Vienna, Austria, and Budapest, Hungary, that included learning activities at the Sigmund Freud Museum, the Austrian National Library, Kunsthistorisches Museum, and other sites throughout the two cities. An articulation agreement was signed that created a pathway for students from the Valencia Honors Program to The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida. The Honors Student Advisory Committee completed its first full academic year in existence, a year that was highlighted by the creation of a constitution, discussions for the development of a program Honor Code, celebration of a year-end recognition banquet, and the planning of numerous events and achievements including movie night, the inauguration of honors faculty awards, a transfer fair, and informal get-togethers. Honors worked with Student Success to revive the Service Learning initiative at Valencia; Christie Pickeral was named college-wide coordinator; a faculty development program was established; a relationship with Junior Achievement was forged; and many projects were initiated. 2010 – 2011 Annual Report page 1 FACTS AND FIGURES: Admission Information (8/2/2010 – 8/2/2011) Total Applications Received 1010 Admitted 697 69.01% Not Admitted 304 30.09% Pending * 9 0.89% * Pending applications include those with incomplete information and those being held for term grades.
