The mission of the Albert Dorman Honors College as adopted by its Board of Visitors, April 2001 is to:
"Attract the ablest and most highly motivated honors scholars and to develop and prepare them for professional careers, graduate studies and positions of leadership in business, industry, science, education, medicine, law government, and service to community."
In order to meets its mission, the Board in November 2001 developed and approved a Strategic Plan with the following strategic objectives:
- To partner with academic departments to develop curricula and projects which will engage students in challenging learning opportunities.
- To affiliate with established university research centers, emerging university research councils, and other interdisciplinary research initiatives including industry-based research opportunities. To involve students in emerging fields of study, work closely with faculty and industry experts, and achieve the academic and service requirements of the college.
- To achieve an undergraduate Honors population of 600 students, by fall 2005; of these students, a minimum of 30 percent will be women and a minimum of 20 percent will be minorities.
- To integrate leadership education throughout the Honors College experience.
- To develop the necessary infrastructure for operating the Honors College.
This Scholarship Campaign is to affirm the mission of the Honors College and to meet its strategic objectives. Scholarships and opportunities for academic excellence attract high achieving, hard-working students to the science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers desperately needed in our state and nation. We not only need these professionals, but we need those who can lead, who can solve problems, innovate, communicate clearly and motivate others to follow. The Dorman Honors College is developing these students. "It is an experiment that works," the conclusion of our Board Chair, Dr. Richard Bowles, Senior Vice President for Global Quality, Schering Plough, and as further concluded by the Board, we can do more!
Thank you,
Dr. Joel S. Bloom
Dean, Albert Dorman Honors College
