Honors Peer Leaders (HPLs) are student leaders who work within each Honors residence hall to provide programming, support, and offer opportunities for residents to connect with each other. The Honors Peer Leader at Large works to achieve the same goals with SASHP students who do not reside in Honors residence halls. An HPL is assigned to each hall to serve as a resource and guide and provide programming within the hall.
Honors Housing is located on all four campuses:
- Brett Hall on the College Avenue Campus
- Jameson H. on Douglass Campus
- Lynton Towers (North) 8th Floor on Livingston Campus
- McCormick suites on Busch Campus
- Honors Peer Leader at Large

Major: Cell Biology and Neuroscience Organizations I'm involved in: President of the Rutgers One Health Club, Aresty Senior Peer Instructor, General Biology Facilitator, Undergraduate Researcher at the Margolis Lab, Peer Mentor Programming Board member, Student Advisory Board member, Honors Ambassador Favorite SASHP Memory: My favorite Rutgers SASHP memory is my Honors Colloquium final presentation. Each Honors Colloquium class that semester created an art piece that was displayed at the Rutgers Art Library about what a "Beloved community" means to them. It was amazing to see everybody's interpretation of how we view our school and meet many SASHP students and talk to them about their experiences and designs. One piece of advice: Find what you are passionate about and build your college experience around that. This is your opportunity to branch out, meet new people, try new activities, go to Rutgers events, and have fun. Explore everything this school has to offer and prioritize making yourself happy. "I absolutely LOVE SASHP! This is one of the most welcoming communities I have ever been a part of and there is something for everyone. The students, Deans, faculty, and staff in SASHP are so special and one of a kind, truly cornerstones of making this program as amazing as it is." - Sarah |

Major: Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Organizations I'm involved in: Honors Ambassadors, Honors Program Student Advisory Board, Assistant Director at the Rutgers University Programming Association , Senior Layout Editor for the RU Bioethics Journal, RU Language Bank, Research Assistant at the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine Favorite SASHP Memory: Having fun with my friends, playing Apples to Apples, Twister, and Just Dance all night while pigging out with food from Cafe West! One piece of advice: Have fun! Remember that college is not all about academics and extracurriculars, it's also about building yourself as a person and figuring out who you really are. Give yourself the opportunity to dive into things out of your comfort zone, and most importantly, don't forget to prioritize your own physical and mental health over everything else. "The SASHP has an incredible number of opportunities, but only if you actively participate and want to be a bigger part of it. It's up to you how much you want to get involved at Rutgers, and in my opinion, making yourself part of a larger community makes the college experience much, MUCH better." - Adithi |

Major: Business Analytics and Information Technology (BAIT) Organizations I'm involved in: SAS Honors Programming Board, Enactus, Ascend Favorite SASHP Memory: Playing dodgeball at the SASHP event and overall making friends with my SASHP peers One piece of advice: Make sure to check canvas regularly to make sure you are not missing assignments but also learn to balance school and fun. "Going to any event hosted by the Honors Program can be a great opportunity to build your career professionally or just make some new friends!" - Terrence
Major: Physics Organizations I'm involved in: SASHP Student Advisory Board & Research within the Physics Department Favorite SASHP Memory: I loved the McCormick Secret Scarlet event last year. One of my favorite memories is sneaking around with my roommates to leave surprises. Since I enjoyed this event last year, I am hosting it this year! One piece of advice: Remember to prioritize your academics, but not at the expense of your physical and mental well-being. Be sure to take care of yourself and also make time for activities that bring you joy, even if they won't enhance your resume. "I am excited to plan fun events to create a greater sense of community within the honors program in McCormick!" - Sami
Major: Political Science Organizations I'm involved in: SAS Honors Ambassadors, Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science Honors Society, Rutgers University Pre-Law Society, Rutgers University Women's Pre-Law Society Favorite SASHP Memory: Attending late-night SASHP events in Jameson and meeting other residents. One piece of advice: Being part of SASHP is a great way to find community here at Rutgers. It's easy to get lonely or feel lost as a college student, especially as a freshman or as someone living in a new residence hall for the first time, but SASHP is a supportive and fun community that eventually will help Rutgers feel like a second home. "I'm most excited to give new students the same experience of finding a community here in SASHP that I had through attending HPL events." - Veronica
