Scholarship Opportunity - Calling all Commuters!

Hello!

I hope you had a great weekend! Less than 4 weeks till this semester is over! We can do it!

I just wanted to take a minute and inform you of an awesome opportunity to get a little extra cash! There is a scholarship, through Campus Life, just for commuter students. It is called The Connelly Scholarship for Commuter Students, named after a alumnus of EMU. This scholarship is open to undergraduate commuter students enrolled at least half time, who will commit to seek active involvement on campus in the upcoming year. 

Check out the application here! 

 If you have any questions regarding the scholarship, feel free to email me (kbrow107@emich.edu) or Kate Curley (campuslife@emich.edu) who is in charge of this scholarship.

It is offered on a rolling basis as funds are available and the application is super easy to complete! It's a great incentive to get more involved on campus!

I hope you take the chance to apply! A good way to find out about scholarships as well as other Honors updates is by following us on twitter (@EMUHonors)

Keep on Soaring Higher!

Thursday, April 14th from 5:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. here at the Honors College (511 W. Forest Ave)!

Check out some photos from picnics past below, this would be 2013-2014 academic year- (Throwback Monday?):

This is going to be a first for the picnic as well, having it outdoors at the Honors College (weather permitting of course - cross your fingers for no April showers on this date) instead of at Big Bob's Lakehouse! Come be a part of new traditions and use our awesome Honors cornhole board as well as enjoy other activities and celebrate the end of the Winter 2016 semester!

 *Below is the game being played at our recent Halloween Event (note the costumes)

P.S. If you haven't been to the new building yet, we will be holding tours during the picnic so you can check out where to come and hangout do homework, get advised and come to more of our events next Fall! There will also be face painting at this event, which is super awesome and done by our very own Diane!

P.S.S. I will be sending out a Commuter end of the year survey in the coming weeks as we start looking ahead to new events and initiatives, your feedback will be crucial in helping with this! 

As always, soar higher!

Hello fellow Honors students and Eagles,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.

I just wanted to share some of the awesome pictures of some of the fun we had on Friday during our annual Lock-In. We had a great turnout! This year was really special with some new traditions, new faces and of course some good ol' throwbacks (90s and otherwise)!

Check out these pictures:

 *Below is how my tie dye shirt turned out!!

 

Special shout-out to the winners of limbo, musical chairs, trivia and all our sweet prizes! And a special thank you to all our helpers who volunteered their time to make the event great!

Annual Honors College Lock-in: Next Friday!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Welcome back from break, who is loving the snow? (I'm not but that's besides the point. Friendly reminder to take it slow in ice and snow!)

The point is that the annual Honors College Lock-In is a week from Friday! We have a lot of really awesome things planned for you all to change things up!

Before I get into that though, logistics! It's Friday, March 11th here at the Honors College (511 W. Forrest Ave) from 6:30 p.m. -10:00 p.m. with registration and icebreakers starting at 6:00 p.m. 

Please RSVP here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C2H5Y59

The theme of the lock-in this year is THROWBACK TO THE 90s so feel free to dress in your best 90s outfit while dancing to our 90s hits party (yes, you can request a song). Here are some ideas:

To stick with the theme, we are going to be showing 90s kids favorite sitcoms with trivia for prizes (if you're like me and love Friends, you'll love this)!

We are going to be having tye-dye as well! Check out some of these awesome things you can bring to make besides just t-shirts (but who doesn't love a good tye dye t-shirt?), just don't forget to bring something with you to dye!

We are going to be having a place to take photo booth like photos with props to create some memories with your friends and fellow Honors peers! Also other games, activities to play! Including interactive Trivia, adult coloring and cards!

Last but definitely not least, FOOD. We are going to be having food at this event and of course we have to have dessert after food, so there will be an Ice Cream Sundae Bar. Just looking at this picture makes me want ice cream now.

If you need any other reason to attend, please email me! It's going to be a great time and we can't wait to see you there! Invite your friends and RSVP today!

Soar Higher,

Kaylee
