It's going to be a fabulous year!!

A warm welcome to our incoming freshmen, new junior transfers AND our new group of continuing students who joined the program this summer.

The Honors Commons is BACK!

The Honors Commons is back and open on the 5th floor of the newly renovated Kennedy Library. Room 510! There are tables to work at, chairs to read in, and bean bags to nap. There are also two computers connected to a printer for you to use. Come by anytime between 8am and 8pm. You will all receive the keypad code with instructions in a separate email.
