Empowering Our Future: How Herkimer College Honors Students Are Making a Local Impact

The Herkimer College Honors Program is tailored for students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. It aims to enhance skills such as interpersonal communication, self-direction, leadership, and emotional intelligence. These skills are crucial for professional success and societal contribution.
