Honors First-Year Orientation
H4 is more than an orientation.
It’s your first opportunity to build friendships, meet mentors, connect with faculty and staff, and discover what it means to be part of the Honors community at Western Kentucky University. Through engaging programs, traditions, team activities, and plenty of fun (yes, including the beloved honors skits), you’ll gain the confidence, support system, and insider knowledge to navigate your first year with purpose.
During H4, you will:
- Connect with fellow honors scholars, peer mentors, faculty, and staff
- Learn how to make the most of your Honors experience both inside and outside the classroom
- Explore opportunities like research, leadership, education abroad, service, and campus involvement
- Get comfortable navigating campus and college life before classes begin
- Build lasting friendships and become part of a supportive community from day one
We are busy at work planning our 2027 orientation. Information will be available in early 2027.
