What We Do
The Honors Student Board (HSB) is a branch of the University Honors Program committed to providing students with opportunities and experiences outside of the normal academic programming. HSB is a social avenue with a wide variety of events, a leadership opportunity with committees anyone can join, an outlet to give back with philanthropic activities, and a way for Honors students to shape their Honors experience.
Simply put, HSB is here to help grow and support the Honors community in any way possible.
Get Involved
No matter your interests, background, or skills, there is certainly a way for you to get involved with HSB! In addition to HSB’s committees, all HSB executive meetings are open to the Honors community. This means that any Honors student can come to an HSB executive meeting and have their voice heard — if they so desire.
If you would like to know more information regarding opportunities with HSB, you can reach us at hsb@iastate.edu or fill out this web-enabled contact form.
Events
The HSB committees plan a variety of events for Honors students with a wide range of interests each semester. These events also almost always have free food and are a great way to meet other Honors students while taking a break from studying! In addition, students in Honors housing earn house/cluster points throughout the academic year while Honors 121 students and their FHP Leaders earn FHP points for their section during the fall semesters. You can check the calendar to see what events are coming up soon.
