The Hutton Honors Council Association (HHCA) is a network of councils made up of honors students. Each council is responsible for planning events for either their residence hall or upperclassmen interest group. Event planning in our organization is a collaborative effort between multiple members. Whether you are a director or a dorm council leader, you are constantly cooperating and communicating with others on challenging projects. This is an integral part of leadership learning in HHCA. Members of all types of leadership styles and personalities are represented in the organization, providing opportunities for members to learn how diversity can be both a challenge and an advantage in a team. Students from all areas of campus and varied majors are represented, providing new perspectives and opportunities for friendship. This promotes growth in areas of trust, diversity, and cooperation that are essential to any future career.
