MY SUGGESTIONS› Calibrate the amount of honor programs (% and subject)› Create an overview of existing (but often informal) programs› Maintain the diversity of extra-curricular programs› Formalize (honor and award) already efficient programs
› Appoint an honors program director› Engage external collaborators
