Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon HONORS COLLEGE
The University of Oklahoma
Got Questions?
Often, the best advice for incoming OU freshmen comes from current OU students. The following high achieving Honors
upperclassmen are interested in helping to ease your transition into the OU Community. Feel free to contact any of them with
questions you may have regarding course enrollment, degrees and majors, housing, or campus life.
These students are also members of the Honors Student Association Mentoring Initiative, a collaboration between the National
Scholars Program and the Honors College. HSA looks to build community within the Honors College by facilitating connections among
intellectually-driven students from across the university. Look for more information on our events later this summer!
Please do not hesitate to contact ANY of these students! We all actively volunteered our information for the purpose of answering
questions – our emails are there for a reason!
We can’t wait until you arrive on campus this August!
Until then,
The Honors Student Association
