Historical Note:
The University Honors College was established at Oregon State
University in 1995 and is a degree-granting college that awards the Honors
Baccalaureate Degree in any undergraduate major. The first cohort of
Honors College students graduated in June 1997.
Jon (Joe) Hendricks served as the founding Dean of the University
Honors College from 1995 until early 2008. Dan Arp was appointed Dean in
May 2008.
An earlier campus-wide Honors Program was active from the mid-1960s
until 1991, when it was terminated due to budget constraints.
The Honors College Records consist of annual reports for 1996/1997 and
1997/1998; a guide to the 2008 thesis fair; and publications. The annual
reports provide statistical information on student recruitment,
enrollment, and retention and information about academic programs and
student activities, fundraising, and all aspects of the College.
The publications include
The Chronicle, the official student
publication of the University Honors College (UHC), for 1996-2002;
HonorsLink for 1999 and 2007-2008; and a
Summer 1997 newsletter, University Honors College
Connection. The Chronicle includes
both creative works written by UHC students and news items. All of the
publications include information about UHC students, faculty, and
administrators and the academic programs of the College.
Collection is open for research.
