Biographical / Historical

The Honors Program began at West Georgia College in the Fall of 1975. It was developed under the auspices of the Honors Program Committee, an ad hoc committee appointed by outgoing West Georgia President Ward Pafford. In addition to establishing the Honors Program, the Honors Program Committee also helped establish the Honors Convocation, an annual event celebrating student academic achievement across the entire campus.

In June of 1999 the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia established the first Honors College in our state, at the University of West Georgia. The USG Board of Regents recognized that our Honors Program was more comprehensive than most and that we displayed most of the basic characteristics of a fully developed Honors College as outlined by the National Collegiate Honors Council.
