TSUS's Oldest Honors Program
Honors Cardinals: Making LU Proud Since 1963
The Reaud Honors College holds the distinction of being the oldest Honors Program in the Texas State University System (TSUS). Twenty students registered for Fall 1963, the first-ever semester of the Honors Program.
Always rigorous and challenging, the Honors College experience affords academically talented and highly motivated students the opportunity to expand their intellectual abilities, delve into the realm of original thought, and connect with other students who share their passion for academic excellence and exploration.
The honors community is proud to recognize our Reaud Honors students who have contributed to TSUS as leaders and scholars.
For 2023-2024, Kelvin Elgar follows in alum Katey McCall's footsteps as he voices the LU student's perspective while serving his appointed role as student regent for the TSUS Board of Regents.
In November 2023, Reaud Honors Biology Pre-Med student Zaid Mohammed was formally recognized as the recipient of the highly coveted TSUS Regents’ Student Scholarship.
