Planning your schedule for NEXT YEAR?
We have updated the Tentative Course Offerings link to reflect which Honors courses will be able to offer next year in AY 2025-26. Remember this can change as we add new courses so check back frequently.
Campus Event You Don't Want to Miss!
Co-Hosted by our very own Honors Associate Director, Dr. Kelly Bennion!
Annual San Luis Obispo Out of the Darkness Campus Walk is back!
This gathering will support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's education, research, and survivor support programs. In addition to raising awareness and funds to fight suicide, the walks give those who attend a chance to connect with others and know they are not alone, whether they walk in memory or in support of a loved one or in honor of their own mental health journey.
Register yourself, or as a team, or sign up to volunteer (shifts available from 8:30am-1pm) at afsp.org/SLO.

CO-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES
Teaching/Mentoring
NEW! Dr. J is seeking Learning Assistants to help with HNRS100 in Fall. Any honors student, including current first years, can be a learning assistant! HNRS 100 will meet once per week on Wednesdays 4:10 to 6:00pm. To be a Learning Assistant you will have to leave this time open. Learning Assistants will help facilitate small group discussions during class and help small groups with a series of innovative projects. Students completing their learning assistant assignments receive credit toward their Honors Program requirements (co-curricular mentor requirement and one Honors Program Elective 1.0 unit).
Being a Learning Assistant is a great way to support our Honors Community!
