The Honors College Vanguard is a student group recognized for outstanding scholarship and contributions to the Honors community. Vanguard members support the College by meeting with prospective students, representing Honors at public events, and helping host program socials. Students are invited to apply for the Vanguard each November, and those who want to take an even more active role can join the Vanguard Leadership Board to help plan events and initiatives. Being part of the Vanguard is a chance to develop leadership skills, support your peers, and contribute directly to the life and growth of the Honors College community.

To learn more and get involved, contact the 2025-2026 Vanguard Leadership Board president, LeiLani Betancourt (betancourtli@appstate.edu). 

Congratulations to the Fall 2025 Honors Vanguard!
