Portz Outstanding Honors Student Awards
The Portz Outstanding Honors Student Award was established in 1978 in honor of the first director of the General Honors program, Professor John Portz, who served in the role from 1966 to 1978 and who believed that student engagement and leadership were critical to the Honors experience. The Portz award is given annually to one student from each of our Honors College living-learning programs who combines exceptional academic achievement with outstanding service or accomplishments outside the classroom.
