Our Students

Suffolk Honors student Irene Kirabo, Law Major/Philosophy Minor, Class of 2025

“If I need a place to do my homework in peace, I go to the Honors room. I love that place. Dean Lenzie and her staff, we're always chatting and laughing. I'm thinking about applying to Suffolk's 3+3 Bachelor's/JD Program, and they answer a lot of my questions.”

Suffolk Honors student Carter McPherson, Management Major/Business Law Minor, Class of 2025

“The classes here are small, which I love because it turns them into discussions. The professors talk with you, not at you. You're learning about things from other people and bringing in shared experience. You make that connection. I have four or five professors I still talk to regularly, despite not having had their class for a year, two years, three years.”
