SAU Honors College

The SAU Honors College was founded in 2003 by Dr. David Rankin, president of SAU. Dr. Lynne Belcher served as founding director and is retired from SAU. The Honors College seeks and admits qualified students who seek to pursue a serious academic program with equally gifted peers and committed teachers. Honors classes are small and provide academically enriching opportunities for students and the faculty who teach them. Currently, SAU enrolls nearly 170 honors students and graduates about 66% of admitees in four years or less. Anyone interested in applying to the Honors College or seeking further information should contact the director, Dr. Edward P. Kardas at epkardas@saumag.edu or at 870 904-8897.

NCHC Panels Accepted

Good news arrived recently. The National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) has accepted the two proposals SAU submitted. They will be presented at their meeting in Phoenix (October 19-23, 2011). The panels are:


  • An iPad 2 for Every Student in Honors Seminar: A Pilot Program. Panelists: Edward P. Kardas, Deborah Wilson, and Suraj Manandhar
  • Using the Non-Cognitive Questionnaire in Honors College Admission and Retention. Panelists: Deborah Wilson and Edward P. Kardas
The NCHC meeting is the "mother ship" venue for honors staff, faculty, and students. It is the premier locale for sharing and learning about the latest trends and findings in honors. Ms. Wilson teaches in the SAU Honors College. Suraj is the graduate assistant assigned to the college and Kardas is its director.
