What is HSE
The Honors Association for Scholarly Excellence (HSE) is a dynamic student organization at Purdue University Fort Wayne, dedicated to fostering academic achievement, innovation, and leadership among high-performing students. We strive to create a collaborative environment where scholars from diverse disciplines come together to explore new ideas, solve real-world challenges, and push the boundaries of knowledge. By connecting students with industry leaders, organizing hands-on workshops, and encouraging interdisciplinary projects, we empower our members to excel in both their academic and professional journeys. At HSE, we believe that excellence isn’t just a goal—it’s a community-driven pursuit.
