Honors Council

The Shackouls Honors Council is an elected group of 30 students who serve as the governing body of the Shackouls Honors College. The members of the Council represent more than 2,500 participants who come from every college and school. These positions are filled by fall and spring elections and are open to all current MSU Honors students (3.4 cumulative GPA required). Students must first fill out a form of intent. If you are elected to the Honors Council, you would serve on one of three standing committees: Activities, Communication, or Service. You would also be expected to attend weekly council meetings, as well as scheduled committee meetings. New members must work a total of 8 hours over the semester while returning members must work at least 16 hours. You can be involved with Honors Council activities without being elected. Just volunteer! The Service Committee is open to all members of the Honors College. In addition, all council meetings are open to anyone. You may make suggestions to any one of the council members or present your ideas at one of the meetings. “Mississippi State University is committed to assuring that the University and its programs are free from discrimination and harassment based upon race, color, ethnicity, sex, pregnancy, religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, status as a U.S. veteran, or any other status protected by state or federal law."
