Honors Advocates
Honors students can take advantage of a unique leadership opportunity by becoming Honors Advocates.
Why Become an Honors Advocate?
Honors advocates:

- serve as a programming board
- serve under direction of the college's Office of the Dean
"Honors Advocates are the voice of the other Honors students, which is why it's such an honor to be chosen."

How to Become an Honors Advocate
Honors Advocates are selected based on their commitment to support and advance the Farquhar Honors College at Nova Southeastern University.

Interested freshman student applicants should:

- submit a well-organized statement of interest by the deadline
- commit to active participation as a volunteer Honors Advocate for one full academic year
Applications are reviewed by Andrea Nevins, Ph.D., M.F.A., dean of the Farquhar Honors College, and Robin St. George, manager of academic programs at the college. An interview may be scheduled, depending on the number of eligible candidates.
Each academic year, current Honors students and freshman Honors students are accepted as Honors Advocates.
