This informal event is designed to bring together the new freshman class, as well as bring together the freshmen and their Campus Connections, or CCs. Traditionally, it occurs the first week of school. This program pairs an incoming freshman Honors student with an upperclass Honors student, usually in the same major or area of study. The Honors Newsletter is a student-generated forum for any Honors student who wants to submit. Articles on any topic are accepted.
Administrators also publish information on scholarships and other academic opportunities.
Occasionally, the Director or Assistant Director also write articles of a wide variety. Every spring, before finals week, the Honors Program celebrates its students at an Annual Banquet. Freshmen receive Honors lapel pins to celebrate their successful completion of the freshman year. Seniors receive bronze Honors medallions to be worn at Commencement. Sophomores and Juniors are also recognized for their achievements.
