Description
Introduction In 2008 the Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council published a series of essays which editor Ada Long described as a "rich and varied conversation about the culture of honors" (10). The contributors, mostly honors administrators, included Charlie Slavin, Dean of the University of Maine Honors College, whose lead article provided "one cornerstone ... that is common to the culture of honors: taking intellectual risks" (15). George Mariz echoed Slavin in his claim that honors "is, above all, a culture of intellectual effort" (24). He posits that, "while [it] is catholic and inclusive, it is also discriminating and critical" (24). Jim Ford writes that another cornerstone of honors culture includes students with "a passion for knowledge and for wisdom" (28) while Paul Strong stresses the importance of shared identities, camaraderie, and a healthy dose of humor complementing the serious nature of the honors endeavor.
