Program Pillars

As a member, you will be given the opportunity to complete each pillar during their academic college careers. Completion of each pillar will result in a certification and upon completion of all four pillars, you will be eligible to purchase a Boey Honors Program (BHP) stole for graduation. If you are a transfer student, you may submit documentation of fulfilled requirements from your previous institution.

The program is divided into two divisions:

  • Lower division: completion of two pillars
  • Upper division: completion of four pillars

For the completion of each individual pillar, you will receive an e-mail confirming that all of the requirements have been met and completion will be noted. Once you have completed any two (2) pillars, you'll receive "lower-division BHP status" and be rewarded a certificate of status and pillar completion, as well as a BHP graduation cord. If you complete all four (4) pillars, "upper-division BHP status", a transcript notation and certificate of completion will be rewarded.
