Join the NCHC Research Committee for an in-depth look at the 2024 Honors Census, the most comprehensive dataset on honors education in the United States. With responses from more than 250 institutions, this year’s Census provides powerful benchmarks to help you understand trends, evaluate your program, and strengthen your planning and advocacy efforts.

During this session, facilitators will highlight key findings from the national reports and institution-type white papers, showcase the capabilities of the interactive data dashboard, and share examples of how honors leaders are already putting the Census data to work. The presentation will conclude with a live Q&A, giving members the opportunity to discuss insights and address questions about data access.
