Leadership Council | John H. Martinson Honors Program

HLC Committees

The Honors Leadership Council (HLC) is a collection of students that serves to enhance the overall John H. Martinson Honors Program experience. HLC is involved with student life throughout the year. They act as guides during the New Student Retreat when students first move in, and they run different programs and events throughout the year.

There are four committees in HLC:
