Hello Honors World. We are in Week 5 of the Fall Quarter. Students should be starting to dive into your college and university applications if you are in your transfer year. Boo! Just like your Halloween costumes, don't put this off until the last second. Meet with your counselors and think about how best to craft your application, write essays and carve pumpkins. Counselors and faculty are always very helpful with reading, making suggestions and giving candy. When you meet with a counselor be sure to report the meeting (see below).

We will also be hosting an Honors Workshop Luncheon in the BSS Lounge on Monday 11/7 from 11:30 to 1:00pm. Anyone interested should be sure to come, ask questions, and be prepared to eat lunch provided by honors. Our idea is to have students and faculty mix to share where they are at in the application process, get help, and provide success tips.

Take a guess, where is that photo taken from? (answer below)

Halloween Events are many.... but the most important are Honors related.

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.

Want to study abroad? All the classes taught in Florence can be assigned as honors! Both professors are Honors faculty: Milissa Carey (Music/Theatre Arts) and Kerri Ryer (Political Science/Global Studies).

Can't attend in person? Join any session via Zoom here.

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:

Answer: That's Royce Hall on UCLA campus, but the photo is probably taken from the steps of Powell Library which is where many undergrads spend their time studying.
