1 2017 SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS ATLANTA, GA :: NOVEMBER 8-12, 2017

2 What is Honors? Honors education ignites passion for lifelong learning and encourages student creativity, collaboration, and leadership in the classroom and beyond. Honors curriculum also serves as a laboratory for inventive and experiential education that can be implemented in the traditional classroom. What is NCHC? Founded in 1966, the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) is a unique educational organization designed to support and promote undergraduate honors education. We have nearly 900 member institutions and several hundred individual members, impacting over 350,000 honors students.

3 Why be a sponsor for the NCHC Annual Conference? Thought Leaders and Decision Makers The NCHC is a growing community of educators who are committed to honors education in all forms. NCHC conference attendees are comprised of nearly equal parts honors directors, deans, and faculty and high achieving honors students. Many of the honors directors and deans either are the decision-maker or are highly influential in the decision-making process for their institutions. The students who attend the NCHC conference are among the most talented and most highly motivated youth in the country, the kind of individuals who will soon become decision makers in their own right. Unparalleled Networking Opportunities Our members attend the NCHC conference for one primary reason: networking. There is no other national event like the NCHC Annual Conference for honors educators to come together and collaborate on what works in honors education. Our conference attendees actively seek new strategies and directions to help create programs worthy of the students who enroll. The Biggest Event of the Year Each fall, the members of the NCHC gather at a four-day showcase of the best honors has to offer. Honors educators and students flock to this event for a rich variety of workshops and presentations, as well as the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with others involved in honors. The NCHC conference captures a very unique audience of the nation s top academics and scholars. Students and professionals alike come to each annual event seeking information about new innovations and opportunities Conference: Just Honors Atlanta, GA November 8-12, 2017 The conference theme, Just Honors, will explore justice both as an academic focus and also the role honors can serve in addressing issues of access, equity, and technology in education. It is a challenge that many honors programs and colleges, even at diverse institutions, are not very diverse. But honors is also the place where high-ability, highly engaged students can get the customized education that best serves them, regardless of socio-economic status or parental education levels. How do we teach justice in honors? How is it part of the conversation, and what are we doing in terms of studying the history of justice? How are we using our knowledge for community-engaged service and research? How do we partner with our communities?
