Honors Program Alumni
Since its founding in 1961, the Honors Program has awarded over 1,500 students the distinction of graduating with Honors. Honors students are represented in a wide variety of disciplines and Honors alumni go on to aim higher and achieve more in their fields as well as serve the greater good in their communities. A majority of Honors alumni pursue further education beyond their undergraduate careers, many earning advanced degrees at some of the finest institutions in the world (i.e. Harvard, Cambridge, Princeton, Georgetown, Yale, Duke, University of Michigan, Oxford, MIT, etc.). Honors alumni have even been recognized with national and international awards for their success.

Add Your Name to the Online Donor Wall celebrating 65 years of the Honors Program and 35 years of the Centralis Scholarship Program!
Since 1961, Honors has fostered academic excellence, leadership, service, and meaningful faculty mentorship. Since 1990, more than 2,500 students have received Centralis Scholarships, opening doors to transformative educational opportunities. As we celebrate this legacy, we invite you to invest in the future of Honors education. Your generosity will help ensure that future Honors students—nearly half of whom do not receive Honors scholarships—can access undergraduate research, study abroad, professional conferences, and other experiences that prepare them to become innovative scholars, ethical leaders, and engaged citizens. Together, we can honor the past, empower today’s students, and shape the future of Honors education at Central Michigan University.
