Big Sibling Program
Every year, a select group of Honors College students apply to be Big Siblings to
incoming Honors College freshmen. Each Big Sibling is grouped with a few incoming
freshmen and introduced during New Seawolf Welcome Week. Over the course of the academic
year, the Big Siblings act as a resource for their incoming Honors College freshmen,
"Little Siblings", and they help to ease the college transition. The Honors College
is truly a family and the Big Sibling Program welcomes new Honors College students
with open arms!
