Hudson Valley and the University of Massachusetts Boston Sign New 荣誉学院 Partnership Agreement

2024年6月26日

Hudson Valley Community College and the University of Massachusetts Boston announced a new transfer agreement between their respective honors college programs.

的 new partnership provides Hudson Valley students who complete the 荣誉学院 curriculum and earn an associate’s degree with the opportunity for guaranteed admission to the University of Massachusetts Boston and its 荣誉学院.

的 agreement is the first specifically designed for Hudson Valley’s 荣誉学院 program and students.

荣誉学院 programs at the collegiate level allow students to take specially designated honors courses and to engage in research, internships and volunteer projects. A rigorous curriculum includes emphasis on academics, 服务, leadership and diversity where students can demonstrate intellectual curiosity, 雄心壮志, integrity and global citizenship. Many students also become eligible for prestigious scholarships and acceptance into 荣誉学院 programs at a bachelor’s degree granting institution.

"I am delighted to see this Honors to Honors partnership with HVCC and UMass Boston come to fruition,” said Hudson Valley 荣誉学院 Director Lamyaa Hassib. “This signifies an important milestone for our 荣誉学院 as we expand the phenomenal academic opportunities for our students. 学生s transferring into the UMass 荣誉学院 will further their intellectual growth and positive engagement in the community. Thank you to all who made this dream a reality and for putting the success of our students at the forefront of our mission."

“I am so thrilled that these two institutions, which are personally significant to my career, have come together to create this new partnership that will benefit the people of New York and Massachusetts,” said UMass Boston's Vice Chancellor for 学生 Affairs Dr. 凯伦Ferrer-Muniz. “Collaboration to bring about new experiences for talented and gifted students is so important for the diverse and academically motivated people that our institutions serve. Thank you to all who made this happen and all that will help realize this MOU’s promise.”

的 荣誉学院 at Hudson Valley began in the fall of 2023. It is designed for students with strong high school academic records and participation in extracurricular activities, preferably with leadership experience. Applicants must be first-time college students, and first-generation students and individuals from historically underserved communities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Hudson Valley will also host an 荣誉学院 Signing Ceremony on July 1 to welcome the second class of incoming 荣誉学院 students. 学生s and their families will join us to celebrate their acceptance to the college and the 荣誉学院 program and will sign an official 荣誉学院 banner.
