"So, You're In Honors...?" is a First Year Success Series (FYSS) presentation that introduces new Honors students to the benefits, opportunities, and expectations of being part of the University Honors Program at Ohio State. Students hear directly from current Honors Community Advocates (HCAs), who share their personal experiences, common challenges they faced during their first year, and strategies for navigating college successfully. The session explores common experiences of high-achieving students, including academic pressure, overcommitment, uncertainty about academic and career paths, and high expectations. Through reflection activities, peer discussion, and HCA stories, students learn practical strategies for success while becoming familiar with key campus resources and support systems. By the end of the presentation, students gain a better understanding of how to make the most of their Honors experience and build a strong foundation for success at Ohio State.
