About the Honors Program
The Honors Program provides exceptional undergraduate sociology students with a rich introduction to the professional life of the discipline through participation in special activities at the ASA Annual Meeting.
Honors Program students develop long-lasting networks with other sociologists while their sponsoring departments get to showcase their most outstanding majors.
At each year’s Annual Meeting, Honors Program students will:
- Present in an Honors Program roundtable paper session and participate in Honors Program workshops on careers and graduate school;
- Take part in regular sessions and special events; and
- Learn more about the ASA’s programs, initiatives, resources, special interest sections, elected leadership, and governance arms
All students accepted into the program receive free meeting registration. Participants must cover their own travel/lodging costs.
Participation in the Honors Program requires nomination by an individual who is familiar with your academic work, scholarship, writing ability, research interests, and research potential in sociology.
