Student Activities
Kilachand Ambassadors
The Kilachand Ambassadors are KHC’s official student hosts and representatives. The Ambassadors will contribute to a variety of events for KHC and will assist administrators in recruiting new students. Ambassadors serve as liaisons between the Kilachand Honors College and visitors and will represent the highest ideals of the University, KHC, and fellow classmates.
Specific responsibilities include but are not limited to communicating with prospective students, meeting with and giving tours to prospective students and their families during campus visits, and attending and assisting with KHC events such as Open House luncheons, Information Sessions, and Parents Weekend events.
Student Government
The core responsibilities of the Kilachand Honors College Student Government are:
- to facilitate social interaction between Honors College students
- to communicate general issues and suggestions to KHC administration on behalf of the student body
- to communicate administration announcements and policies to the KHC student body
- to act as student representatives and points of contact to the general University student body
Meetings will be held on a fixed schedule, on a monthly or bimonthly basis, and will be open to all KHC students.
If a student wishes to run for a position within the Student Government, he or she must submit a letter of intent to the administration, as well as garner 20 supporting signatures from KHC peers. Following the submission of these two documents, a brief interview will be held with administration for final approval. Board member elections will be held at the end of each academic year, while class representative elections will be held at the beginning of each academic year. The KHC administration has final oversight on council decisions and amendments, as well as removal power of ineffective council members with sufficient prior notice.
Big Siblings
The Kilachand Honors College Big Siblings program aims to assist incoming students with the transition to college life. Big Siblings serve as role models for incoming students and advise them as to how to make the most of the college experience. They may be asked to offer study groups or to participate in welcome activities.
The KHC Big Siblings program is overseen by the KHC Student Government, and all members will be responsible for completing a peer-mentoring workshop each spring which will introduce them to strategies as to how to build positive and appropriate mentoring relationships with incoming students. Big Siblings should not advise other students on academic or other official University policies and should always direct students to the appropriate University administrators.
Participation in student groups may be limited to students in good academic standing within KHC at the discretion of the administration.
