Stephen S. Smith Center

Smith Fellows Program

The Smith Center offers two distinct opportunities for students to be considered for: the Smith Scholars Honors Program and the Smith Fellows Program. The two programs differ in their classroom experience but offer many of the same benefits and opportunities. The Smith Fellows Program is technically not in the academic honors program, but Smith Fellows are invited to join in the special engagement activities sponsored by the Smith Center. That would include guest speakers, workshops and networking.

Below is a breakdown of the programs and which amenities are offered to both programs and where they differ.
