The Honors Council is made up of faculty members from many colleges at Washington State University who have strong ties to the Honors College
They may have been teachers in the program or provided service, for example, as a thesis advisor to several students. They provide guidance to the Dean on curricular issues and program changes.
Appointed by the WSU Provost, they serve three-year terms and meet at least twice yearly. Their duties include making policy recommendations to the Dean, reviewing and approving student recipients of the Dean's Award and the S. Town Stephenson Award. They also make final determinations on which students receive Pass with Distinction on their thesis.
