Abstract: As President of Broward College, the author is proud of the honors education that has been offered to students since 1982. Two-year colleges play a crucial role in higher education, having experienced extensive growth in the past few decades and with honors as an important part of that growth. Broward College was founded in 1960 to support the rapid development of the local community, and today remains committed to that mission, providing accessible, affordable, and high-quality education to more than 60,000 students annually. For many in South Florida, Broward College offers a clear pathway to a college degree and a better future. In this article, the author briefly discusses the honors program offered at Broward College.
