The Berkeley trip happened today! It was decidely not as warm as the above photo, but still fun. The tour was great and then we had lunch in the dining hall. We are planning a trip in early May to UC Santa Cruz or CSU Monterey Ba, so keep a lookout here for the sign up.

If you are going for UCLA TAP then you should have met or are meeting an Honors Counselor right now. Contact us if you are late to the party.

Speaking of party, on March 24th there will be a Quarter Ending BBQ BASH. Keep a lookout for more details.

And remember to sign up for Spring classes starting this week! This Winter Quarter we added 113 new students to our Honors cohort. Welcome amigos.

The RSL Symposium

Plan to participate in this campus and community-wide event!

The Research and Service Leadership Symposium provides students an opportunity to expand their learning beyond the walls of the classroom (or the confines of the screen); to investigate their world through in-depth research projects; to create and participate in worthwhile service learning activities, including original creative arts projects, and to present their newfound knowledge, insights and experiences to the campus community. Students will gain experience presenting in a professional conference setting on the virtual campus through presentations, performance, displays and discussion.

The Symposium itself is the culminating event of these student projects. The event includes

• A full day and evening of presentations, peer discussion forums, art galleries, and creative performances.
• Awards ceremony, keynote speaker and closing celebration.
