All students in the S.G. Atkins Scholars Society are considered members of the Student Scholars Organization (SSO). The SSO, which meets on the second Tuesday of every month, promotes interaction among Scholars through social activities, leadership development, cultural enrichment, service learning, etc. This student-governed organization serves as the student voice of the Scholars Society.
Through high quality academic and co-curricular experiences, graduates become creative leaders in their professions and communities. It is the intent of the Student Scholars Organization to assist scholars in creating an undergraduate educational experience that promotes scholarship, knowledge, and an appreciation of African-American culture as a mirror for understanding other great world cultures. The Student Scholars Organization, based on student governance, provides opportunities for scholars to participate in workshops and seminars, community service and fundraising events, and national and regional honors conferences. The Student Scholars Organization programs reflect compelling educational priorities for the Honors Program. They support an ongoing strategic plan to develop, enhance, and support honors programs on local, regional, and national levels.
