The purpose of this poster presentation is to describe how the honors scholars program at the College of Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati helped Information Technology (IT) students to implement real-world projects, engaged in community service and thus enriched their student life.

Through the honors credits projects students developed web sites for community organizations.
