A dynamic opportunity for honors students
The JEHN program provides students with the kind of educational foundation and professional connections that they need to face the issues of injustice, incivility and political disengagement that trouble our world. JEHN Scholars learn in community about these issues, coming together to explore historical and current perspectives, in local as well as global contexts. They inquire and collaborate across academic disciplines, across communities, and across geographic regions.
Three pillars characterize the JEHN experience at each participating institution: Intellectual community, problem solving, network building. Together they provide students with an experience of empowerment--to think consciously and deliberately about how their personal commitment fits within our societal goals of justice and equity. Bringing together a coherent philosophy and plan of action to make change, JEHN students will be part of a transformational change of creating a more peaceful and inclusive world.
