Content

While the spring has just begun, there’s still a plethora of events for all of you Honors students to attend! Here is a quick spiel on the programming CHC has planned for this semester.  

Community

February 26, 5 - 6 p.m., Zoom, Housing Workshop: Considering different housing options for next year? This workshop would be a great fit for you! Hosted by the Honors College, the housing workshop is a great way for you to learn more about the options available at Honors housing and how to best secure your housing, providing timelines, eligibility, and tips for the process. 

Academic 

February 27, March 26, April 30, Zoom, Thesis Workshops: While most seniors are working through the last bits of their Honors Thesis, the Spring Thesis workshops are great ways for students of all years to learn more about the process and the work that goes into crafting your final thesis. In the past, the workshops included student panels, Honors Thesis overviews, and the final submission process. The first one is this month!

February 29, 5.30 - 6.30 p.m., Student Union Ballroom, Annual Black Heritage Month Celebration: In honor of Black Heritage Month, the Honors College hosts a speaker every year that works at the intersection of art praxis, racial justice, and the embodiment of change as pathways to liberation. Register online to attend.

This year, Catherine Coleman Flowers, an author, internationally recognized environmental activist, and MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, will be delivering the address.

March 12, 5 - 6 p.m., Student Union Ballroom, Daffodil Lecture: Following the Daffodil planting in the fall, the annual Daffodil lecture focuses on sustainability and the environment, and invites one speaker to describe their research and work done in these fields. Sonya Atalay is this year’s lecturer; her lecture is titled “Braiding Knowledges to Transform Science: Climate Change, Cultural Places, and Food Sovereignty.” 

CHC’s programming in the spring makes for a good mix of community and academic-based events. I personally am a huge fan of the Daffodil lecture and the Annual Black Heritage Month Celebration. The speakers are always incredibly knowledgeable and really make you think about topics that you might’ve never learned about before. We hope to see you all at some of them!
