Georgia State Honors College

The Georgia State Honors College has talented students, first-rate faculty, and terrific academic programs.

We work to create creative experiences where students can discover more about themselves both inside and outside of the classroom. The Honors College offers talented and motivated undergraduate students the experience of a highly selective small college combined with the breadth of programs and opportunities of a large public research university in a dynamic and thriving city. Once admitted to the

Honors College, students pursue degrees in any of Georgia State’s over 200 programs of study, with enhanced opportunities for academic achievement, research, housing, cultural programs, advisement, preparation for graduate or professional school and mentoring for prestigious national undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship and fellowship competitions.

This April, Honors College student Samuel Oriola attended the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in Richmond, Virginia. His NCUR participation was made possible by a Just-in-Time grant from the Emeriti Association, which supports Georgia State Honors College students with their research efforts.

At the conference, Samuel presented his research, connected with others working in his major (data science) and learned about graduate programs at top institutions. Samuel returned home inspired by the innovative research happening across the country and the encouraging conversations with those who visited his poster... and the welcoming community that made each day at the conference memorable!

Beyond the conference, Samuel explored Richmond’s culture through its restaurants, trails, historic sites and local businesses. Overall, it was an incredible experience that supported his professional and personal growth.

In addition to presenting at NCUR, Samuel was also the student speaker at the Emeriti Association Spring Luncheon and delivered a presentation at TEDxGeorgiaStateU.

Congratulations, Samuel, on such an impressive semester and keep up the great work!

Three incredible milestones. One unforgettable spring semester for Honors College senior (now alum) and Presidential Scholar, Puja Raol:

🏆 First, Puja was selected as the 2026 recipient of the Nell Hamilton Trotter Student Leadership Award, the highest student leadership award at GSU. Puja was chosen based on her service and leadership with the Indian Cultural Club, the PreMedical Mentorship and Clinical Program and Circle K International. At the ceremony, she was cheered on by her friends and fellow Honors students. She also met Dr. Michael Sanseviro, Vice President for Student Engagement, and Dr. Bridget Blake, GSU's First Lady.

🎓 Second, she graduated from GSU summa cm laude, with a BS in neuroscience and an Honors Laureate.

🌍 Third, she received the Fulbright-Nehru Open Study/Research Award. This fall, she will depart to India for nine months of research, studying mental health interventions for rural Indian youth.

Congratulations, Puja, on such an remarkable final semester at GSU! 💙👏

In late March, Tammy Joseph, Honors College senior, visited Harvard Medical School in Boston, toured three active labs and presented her research at the New England Science Symposium hosted by the Biomedical Sciences Careers Program.

The experience allowed Tammy to connect with incredible peers from across the country, including undergraduate, graduate, and medical students as well as postdoctoral fellows. She shared her work, received valuable feedback and learned about the inspiring research others are doing in so many different areas of science and medicine.

Here's what Tammy has to say about her experience: "Most of all, the experience gave me even more perspective, motivation, and excitement to keep pursuing my dream of becoming a doctor."

Congratulations, Tammy, and great job representing GSU!

What does the "pursuit of happiness" actually mean? Honors College senior, Victoria Oltean, took that question all the way to Washington, D.C., presenting her research at the 2026 Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress (CSPC) conference as a Presidential Fellow. A Political Science major and Georgia Legislative Intern Program alum, Victoria’s paper explores how Jefferson's original vision has shifted across 250 years of American political life.

Well done, Victoria, and congratulations on being GSU’s first CSPC Fellow!
