The Coordinating Council for Honor Societies (CCHS) was founded at The University of Alabama in the spring of 1987 with the goals of increasing campus awareness of honor societies and supporting the initiations and events of member groups. As a body, the Coordinating Council for Honor Societies values not only academic excellence, but also leadership, civic engagement, and service to one’s community. The purpose of the Coordinating Council for Honor Societies is to
- increase campus awareness of honor societies;
- ensure an unbiased honor society selection process among member organizations;
- encourage communication and collaboration between member organizations;
- assist in planning the University Honors week activities.
The Coordinating Council for Honor Societies also assists in the planning and execution of UA’s Honors Week and hosts annual Honor Society preview events.
