Hello again Honors World. We are now in Week 7 of the Fall Quarter. Students are heavy into the application process for UCs and some CSUs. Your due dates are at the end of the month! Consider meeting with Sam or Tracee to go over your applications and essays. Thanksgiving week is coming up but you don't want to have to finish all these applications while carving a turkey. Gobble gobble.

The Student & Faculty Mixer was a great success. We devoured four pizzas and met new people. We certainly hope there will be another get together in December.

Here is a group photo. Many people came and went, we'll be sure get more photos.

The Honors Courses being offered are on our Honors website.

Here is a list of them:  ANTH 2AH, ART 2BH, CNSL 3H CNSL 8H, ENGL 1AH, ENGL 1BH, ENGL 11H, ENGL 43BH, ENGL 45AH, HUMN 3H, HUMN 4H, MDIA 1H, MDIA 11H, MUS 2BH, MUS 8H, PHOT 8H, PHOT 11H, POLI 3H,  PSYCH54H, and SOC 1H.

We are also working hard to set up a one-year schedule of honors courses so we will all know what courses will be offered in the future. The faculty and deans from our departments are also diligently considering new courses that can be offered for our students. If you have any suggestions please do not hesitate Sam or Tracee with your ideas.

Get help with your UC Personal Insight Questions and/or college essays:

The UC application deadline is Nov. 30th.

Counselors specialize in helping students with UC PIQ’s and college essays. Please schedule an appointment with a Foothill Counselor as soon as possible.

For additional assistance, the Transfer Center is collaborating with the Writing & Learning Center (WLC) so students can also get help during their “Online Scholarship & Application Writing” time OR anytime during their open hours.

Mark your calendar for the Scholarship Workshop offered on Thursday 11/17 from noon to 1pm in room 4305. Join our Financial Aid team for a general scholarship information workhop, with application assistance, and Q&A.

After your counseling appointment, please complete the new Counseling Report Form to record your visit and help evaluate your plan towards academic, personal, and professional successes. The Honors Institute will verify your appointment at the end of each quarter. This new reporting process replaces the documentation that counselors needed to complete.

If you have any questions regarding your schedule, the transfer application process, or any other questions about being an honors student, please be sure to visit any one of the General Counselors. For Honors specific questions, do contact any one of our Honors Counselors:
