University Honors Program Faculty + Staff

University Honors faculty and staff are devoted to making your college experience the best it can be. They care about your education, strive to excel in their teaching and mentoring, and seek to get to know you. Building close, collaborative relationships with professors is part of what Honors is all about.

Join the University Honors team

We are always interested in hearing from faculty and members of the broader Eau Claire and Chippewa Valley communities who would like to become involved in Honors! We invite faculty and community members with particular expertise and at least a Master's degree to consider teaching a course in the University Honors Program. Please contact the Honors office to start the conversation.

Blugolds who have been there

Who better to tell you about the Honors experience than current Honors students? The students who work in the Honors office are all part of the Honors program, and they have the experience and knowledge to answer questions about the program or about life on campus. Stop by the office or send your questions through the contact form below.

Carly Bower
Media Manager

Hello! I am a Graphic Communications major with a passion for all things art. In my free time you’ll find me making podcasts with my friends, watching bad reality TV, and drinking coffee at Einstein’s. I also love music, so you’ll usually find me playing my trombone in the Blugold Marching Band! 

Miranda Fernandez
Communications Intern

Hello! I am a double major in English Critical Studies and Spanish language, with a minor in European Studies. Outside of class, I enjoy participating in UWEC Theatre productions, reading, and going on adventures with my roommates. I’m excited to join the Honors staff!

Megan Gosian
Event Coordinator

Hello everyone! I am majoring in Elementary and Special Education. When I am not playing my trombone in the Blugold Marching Band or leading tours as a Campus Ambassador, I enjoy reading, hanging out with my friends, and going to Zumba. I love helping others, eating food, and making new friends! Please stop by and visit me at the Honors Commons (McIntyre Library 2002) to ask questions or to just say hi. 

Morgan Mack
Student Experience Coordinator - HSSC President

Hello! I am Morgan! I am an Ecology and Environmental Biology major with a Spanish minor [AND] a Geospatial certificate. When I am not in the Honors Lounge, you will most likely find me on the third floor of Phillips, hanging out with the fish! I also teach a dance fitness class here on campus and I LOVE to dance! I have also studied abroad in Costa Rica! Feel free to pop in and say hi!
