Service and Honors-Approved Activities
Throughout the semester the Honors College (HC) will
provide a list of service opportunities and approved activities for its
students. The list will be emailed through the HC mail list as well as posted
on the HC website.
This list will contain opportunities aggregated from the
campus and surrounding community.
The criteria for an honors-approved activity: "Activities that enrich the Honors College experience academically, artistically, culturally, or socially."
The criteria for a service/civic engagement activity: "Activities that students give of themselves and their time to volunteer and serve both on-campus and off-campus organizations and communities."
The HC will work closely with its
own Think Tank and Honors Student Organization to create and compile activities and opportunities. The
HC will also confer with the Office of Campus Involvement and the Civic Engagement office as well as
other units inside and outside the campus. Students may also propose events and service opportunities.
As new events are created or are brought to our attention,
the HC will send out mailing list notifications and post opportunities on the website.
As each activity is completed during the semester, students will
complete their hours checklist and submit it to the HC via an online form.
