Lloyd International Honors College

From the UNCG directory, Sep 7, 2026

The mission of Lloyd International Honors College (LIHC) is to recruit outstanding undergraduate students to UNCG and to provide them with an enhanced and supportive intellectual and social experience that acculturates them to the life of the mind and helps them to become critical, independent thinkers who are active in the design and pursuit of their own education, globally aware and engaged, and prepared to lead successful and fulfilling professional, civic, and personal lives. Lloyd International Honors College infuses play, performance, and improvisation into a range of our experiential learning opportunities (field trips, colloquia, workshops, lecture series, study abroad, and seminars) to enhance students’ academic success. By engaging in extra- and co-curricular experiences--taking trips, visiting cultural institutions, meeting different kinds of people, having a chance to try new things—we learn and develop. Such play is just as important for adults as it is for children. These kinds of experiences help us develop our abilities to recognize opportunities and act upon them. When we play, we develop; and not only do we learn better (becoming better learners), but we actively shape our lives, our communities, and our world.
