We will have snacks, a quiet place to study or places to collaborate! Feel free to just stop by in between studying/class or stay for a while!

I just wanted to thank everyone who came to the first ever Honors College Formal on Saturday night with DJ Daniel Long, karaoke, dancing, food, and RockBand! It was so much fun and something we hope to continue in the future!

If you came to the dance, what was your favorite part? Comment below. Mine was definitely when Janine went to do karaoke!

Something Old & Something New - Events this week!


Hello Honors students,

Only about a week left of regular classes! I hope your semester is wrapping up nicely.

Our events for this semester are wrapping up as well and I want to make sure you don't miss out on some really awesome things when you are taking a break from studying!

On Thursday, April 14th from 5:00-7:30 p.m. here at The Honors College (511 W. Forest Ave) will be our annual picnic which will also serve as an Open House for the new building! We will have food as well as some really fun outdoor games including cornhole as well as have face painting! If you plan to attend this always awesome event, please RSVP here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WP7PW5Y

So that was an example of an "old" event that has become a really great tradition for the Honors College. This upcoming Saturday, April 16th from 8:00-11:00 p.m., we are having the first ever Honors formal dance in our building!

There will be a DJ and karaoke as well as snacks and refreshments! Our theme is masquerade and the attire is semi-formal! Please feel free to bring a guest with you to dance the night away and fill out this RSVP survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6YWWD33 ! The survey is very important as we will be having a small personalized keepsake item for you if you fill it out!

One more really awesome thing happening at this event for those students and guests who aren't as into dancing is a chance to win Battle of the Bands through the RockBand system! Special thanks to my boyfriend for letting us borrow his equipment to be able to do this!

These events are going to be a great time and we can't wait to see you there!


Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and as always, soar higher!
