There is no set reading schedule, so you may read at your leisure. This information can also be found in your email or download Githii Honors Program Letter.

The Guide for Honors Students 2024 provides an in-depth breakdown of the program’s mission, “Good Standing” qualification, the curriculum, and a list of “Habit-of-Mind” activities to gain points.

Each semester the program will release a set of electives for the upcoming semester that can fulfill your requirement of two honor electives. The list can also be found in your Spelman emails: Electives-Fall 2023
