Commuter Kickoff Event! (And Next Week Q & A)


Hello!

Fall is almost officially here! Fall is a time of change from leavings changing color to pumpkin flavored everything becoming available!

To kick off the fall season, we would like to invite you all to our upcoming Honors College event, the "Commuter Kickoff" on Tuesday, October 6th from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in Starkweather.

This event will be a great chance for commuter students as well as other Honors students to get to know each other and talk about things they have in common with some snacks!

If you can attend, please fill out this RSVP survey by clicking here!

P.S. Email me (kbrow107@emich.edu) with any questions you have about Honors, college, EMU or anything at all! Next week I will make another blog post with answers (no names will be attached)!

I hope to see you all there and look forward to answering your questions!

The Start of Something New!



Welcome to the first day of the Fall 2015 semester!

The first day of classes is always a big day because you get your first impression of how the next 15 weeks are going to go. What was your favorite class so far? Comment below :) You get to find out where exactly your class is, who is in that class, how the professor seems, what assignments you have to do and most importantly, pick your seat.

I always find it humorous that everyone would say in high school, "I can't wait for college because there are no assigned seats"; then by some kind of human instinct we all just assign ourselves anyway and become territorial when someone else sits in our seat the third week of classes! Does this happen to anybody else?

In terms of what's new in the Honors College for this new semester, we have a few events coming up!



Our annual fall picnic will be on Thursday, September 10th from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Big Bob's Lakehouse. This is one of our most popular events with tons of food, fun and opportunities to unwind after the first week of classes! Please RSVP here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HQ59QTD if you plan to attend!

So in the hopes of not overwhelming you with anymore information (those syllabus might be enough to focus on for now) I will end the post with saying I hope you enjoyed your first week at EMU if you are a freshman or welcome back to all current students.

We hope to see you on September 10th! P.S. Coffee Hour starts next Friday :)

Please email me or comment on here with any questions/comments!
