Student & Faculty Councils
The Esther G. Maynor Honors College thrives on collaboration, innovation and shared governance. Two key groups help shape the academic and community experience for our students: the Faculty Council and the Student Council. Together, these councils help guide the Maynor Honors College and uphold its mission to challenge, support and inspire high-achieving students at UNC Pembroke.
Student Council

Faculty Council
The Honors College Faculty Council is the primary advising body to the Maynor Honors
College and plays a central role in honors admission and scholarship decisions. In
its oversight capacity, it also monitors curricular and co-curricular components of
the Honors College. It is comprised of six honors faculty members from a variety of
disciplines, appointed by the Dean, each serving three-year renewable terms. The Dean
and Assistant Dean of the Honors College serve in an ex officio capacity, with the Dean serving as chair and voting only in the event of a tie.
