Honors students are involved inside and outside of the classroom. We offer numerous ways for our students to contribute to Honors, Temple, and to the Philadelphia community and beyond through our student organizations—run by students, for students.
The following orgs are open to all students.

Honorables of Color (HoC)
The Honorables of Color is a discussion group for students of color in the Temple University Honors Program. These gatherings offer minority Honors students an opportunity to share their experiences, discuss social issues, network across academic majors, and connect with campus faculty and staff of color in order to build a sense of community at Temple.
