From the moment Olivet Honors Program students set foot on campus, they join a community of scholars. Together, in Christian fellowship, they study, learn and grow. In their junior and senior years, students work on a capstone scholarship project with faculty mentors. The results of these projects are often life-changing. Each spring, students present their capstone research during Olivet’s Scholar Week and the research is featured in ELAIA.
