Honors Diversity Council

The University of Iowa Honors Program (UIHP) invites all honors students passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to join the student-led Honors Diversity Council.

By adopting a listening ear to what students have to say, our goal is to work with and DO something with feedback to make tangible changes. Joining the council is an opportunity to advocate for DEI initiatives, build a culture of belonging at the UIHP, and become a leader in the honors community. The council meets three times a month, including committee meetings. Complete this online application here by September 14th to join for the 2022-23 academic year!
