perspective but also from social, political, cultural, and ethical perspectives. The McBride
Honors Program at the Colorado School of Mines uses seminars and a practicum to develop this
type of engineer.

administrators across campus. Two experienced honors leaders share strategies for persuasive
communication across a broad range of campus constituencies.
