Douglass Honors College Community

Empowering Scholars, Inspiring Leaders, Building Community!  

The Douglass Honors College Community (DHCC) is a vibrant academic community that empowers high-achieving students through a distinctive blend of intellectual experiences rooted in feminist pedagogy, where students build genuine connections with peers who share their drive and curiosity. Born from a collaboration between Douglass Residential College and the Honors College, DHCC brings students together through exclusive programming and opportunities, meaningful peer collaboration, and events designed to help them flourish.

Here, students dive into experiential learning that spans interdisciplinary subjects, leadership development, and social service initiatives, all within a supportive, inclusive environment where every voice matters. Every activity and experience is designed to enrich your college journey and set you up for success well beyond graduation.

We can't wait to welcome you and can't wait to see what you'll bring to our community!

Honors Faculty Fellows Cohort 

The DRC-HC Faculty Fellows Cohort connects Douglass-Honor College students with Rutgers faculty and leading professionals to engage in research and projects. Fellows in this program come from diverse disciplines, including art, environmental science, social justice, activism, and more. What sets the DHCC Faculty Fellows Cohort apart from similar initiatives is the opportunity for off-campus excursions that facilitate real-world applications of knowledge. Furthermore, the program includes service hours that encourage students to engage with the local community, aligning with the core mission of the Honors College. Upon completing the cohort, students receive a stipend as recognition for their participation.
