How to Become an Honors Advocate
You must apply and interview to become an Honors Advocate. Applications for these volunteer positions are emailed to current honors students each winter semester. Freshman honors students are invited to apply the summer before the fall semester. If selected, you'll serve for the academic year. You may reapply to retain the position each year.
Applications are reviewed by Andrea Nevins, Ph.D., M.F.A., dean of the Farquhar Honors College, and Robin St. George, Ed.D., manager of academic programs at the college.
To qualify for the Honors Advocate position, you must:
- Be a member of the Farquhar Honors College

- Have at least two remaining semesters (one academic year) at NSU
- Submit a well-organized statement of interest and resume
