Honors College Recruitment Team

Honors College Recruitment Team

The Honors College Recruitment Team (HCRT) is an organization that works alongside the Honors College and Admissions in an effort to inform and engage with prospective students to get them to apply, and eventually commit to the honors college. We participate in most Mason admissions events, Honors Info sessions,  and panels, and host class shadows for those prospective students.

Aside from that, they are an active organization on campus. They have weekly meetings every Friday to check in on each of their members and club activities, as well as complete trainings, prepare for upcoming admissions events, and planning teambuilding workshops/activities for their members.
