The Honors College Programming Council (HCPC) is the official student organization of UNT’s Honors College. HCPC provides meaningful opportunities for students to engage with the Honors College
community outside of the classroom. Each semester, HCPC hosts over a dozen events
that are attended by over 600 students. All Honors College students are invited to take part in HCPC programming.

Student leadership positions
Our programs are separated into six categories, and each area is led by a Programming
Chair. Learn more about our categories and examples of previous programs below!
HCPC Program Spotlight: Make a Difference
Led by our Community Engagement team, Make a Difference Day is HCPC's longest and widest-reaching event. Students had the opportunity to pack donation bags, 'Dance for a Difference' (Zumba with instructors from the rec), learn about local nonprofits, and more. Over 200 care bags were packed and donated
to support kids and homeless adults in the Denton community. We also partnered with 8 on-campus student groups, opening the door to future campus collaborations. 150 students attended this event
in October
HCPC Program Spotlight: DMA and Perot Filed Trips
Our first-ever dual field trip took students to the Dallas Museum of Art and Perot
Museum of Nature and Science. While there, they received free admission and free rein
to learn and explore alongside Honors College peers. Longer trips like these don’t
just improve students’ familiarity with the Honors College. They also foster student
relationships beyond what is possible at traditional, on-campus events. Over 70 students
participated in these field trips in November 2024. In so doing, they increased access
to public museums, provided community, and gained academic enrichment.
Recruitment for HCPC leadership roles (Executive Team Members and Programming Chairs)
occurs each Spring semester via online application. Keep an eye on the Honors College
newsletter for applications around Spring Break! Email the Student Life team at honorscommunity@unt.edu for more information.
