Honors Program Events

Remember, all Honors Students need to attend at least four (4) extracurricular intellectual campus events per regular academic year (Fall and Spring semesters). And every Honors Students must participate in at least one (1) Honors Book Discussion (though you are welcome to join as many discussions as you like each year).

Copies of the readings for Honors Book Discussions will be available to borrow from the Director’s Office in Honors House by the start of each semester.
