Honors: Partners in the Parks


	Program Information \| About Us \| Mission \| Student Stipends \| Contact Us \|

Partners in the Parks is an experiential learning program sponsored by Southern Utah University in cooperation with the National Collegiate Honors Council and the U.S. National Park Service. In 2008 we hosted six projects at national parks across the country offering unique opportunities for collegiate honors students and faculty to visit areas of the American landscape noted for their beauty, significance and lasting value.

Seminars were led by university faculty and park personnel on a variety of topics including historical, scientific, cultural, and other important areas unique to a given park. Projects also took advantage of exciting recreational opportunities in the parks to broaden participant's understanding of the overall value of national parks to our country and its citizens.
