What Former Honors Students have to say

  Quote: I had some masterful and famous professors at Harvard but they couldn't have gotten me here - the Honors Program did!
Paul Sterios --Paul Sterios, Investment banker, New York City; former Honors Program student; Harvard University, Class of 1994


Quote: I am so thankful to the Honors Program because it prepared me very well for UCLA. Without the Honors students and teachers, I would have been much less prepared, and likely not even be here [UCLA] at all.
Jack Agamba --Jack Agamba, Film Editor, Los Angeles; former Honors Program student; UCLA School of Cinema and Film, Class of 1994; Phi Beta Kappa


“ I may have had my wings before I began my academic journey, but Honors taught me how to fly! As a returning 'mature' student, I was worried about how I would deal with the challenges of school after being away for so long. My honors professors helped me to recognize my strengths and potential so that I could pursue my dream of obtaining a B.A. at the University of San Diego, and continuing on with my post graduate education. Just a tip - establish solid study habits early and stick with them! It will really pay off later when you transfer.”
  --Patty Warner, former City Honors Core student,, University of San Diego, Summa Cum Laude, Class of 1997, Kappa Gamma Phi, Phi Sigma Tau (National Philosophical Honors Society), President Emeritus-Theta Chapter, U.S.D. Department of Philosophy Carlin Book Award Scholar,


“ As an out-of-state high school graduate, I saw attending San Diego City College as the only affordable option to gain residency before attending UCSD. When I first started, I was unaware of how valuable an experience I would have by choosing to apply for the Honors Program. By doing so, I was able to make the most out of my community college years. After two years at SDCC and 17 units of Honors classes, I had been exposed to the best of teachers and classmates. As I begin my last year at UCSD, I am progressively grateful for my Honors education and 'family.'”
  Thandi Guile, former City Honors Core student, currently a senior at the University of California at San Diego majoring in Economics.
