Honors Information Peers 2024-2025

2024-2025 Honors Informational Peers (HIPs) pose outside of a campus building.

The Honors Informational Peers (HIPs) lead enrichment activities for fellow honors students, answer questions about course scheduling and honors requirements, and help create a stronger sense of community for the nearly 2,000 honors undergraduates currently enrolled at UMass Lowell. Don’t be hesitant to reach out to the HIPs. They are here to help you and guide you! 

HIPs also host events in the Allen House on Monday through Thursday from 5–9 PM. During these events, students can meet with HIPs to ask questions about honors classes, schedules, and more. HIPs also work to bring new programs to the Allen House and build connections. 

Now, let’s meet some of the team!
