Honors College students receive intensive training in adaptive leadership, a leadership style developed at Harvard University and the Kansas Leadership Center in Wichita. This training is provided by both Honors College students and faculty members who have mastered this cutting-edge approach to mobilize people in order to make progress on difficult issues our society faces.

§§ Community Engagement:

The Honors College strives to be recognized as a significant catalyst for improvement of communities in Kansas and beyond.

Honors College students are given multiple opportunities to use their knowledge and skill to provide service to others through group and individual service projects.

§§ Relationship Building

Honors is about connecting with people and developing strong relationships with them. Honors College students are provided many opportunities to work with fellow students, faculty and staff, as well as people from all over the world on projects of shared interest. Becoming an agent of change for the common good is the mission of the Honors College.

TradPlus & Veteran Student Services

As a TradPlus (non-traditional) or veteran student, we know that you may have challenges and needs distinct from students who fit the traditional college student profile. Maybe you are married and/ or a parent, perhaps you served in the armed forces or you are an active reservist, or you might be returning to school for the first time since high school. While your journey may be different than the traditional high-school-to-college path, you bring valuable perspectives and experiences that will enrich campus life inside and outside of the classroom.

TradPlus and Veteran Student Support Programs assist with your transition to Emporia State and can provide guidance and resources on your path to graduation. We provide a Veterans Lounge, a Single Parents with Children Scholarship, assistance finding daycare, and general support and encouragement for our TradPlus and veteran students.

Residential Life Make ESU Your Home!

“I’ve lived on campus for two years now. I have made so many amazing friends this year that I know will last a lifetime. I love living on campus because you’re already connected with campus.

There are so many perks to living on campus. You don’t have to worry about paying monthly bills, you get free WiFi, laundry, and other amenities. You can step right out your door to go cheer on the football team or meet up with your study group. You will receive academic support and belong to a community by living on campus.

It is convenient, comfortable, and connecting.

Make ESU your home away from home.
