Hello Honors students! Just as a reminder--

credit hours by the start of Fall 2009)
2) have an overall GPA of 3.0
3) show evidence of leadership outside the student's course of normal
study - such as athletics, clubs, projects, or community building
initiatives

simply membership) in the activities described (in #3 above). Completed

Upcoming Major Planning event!!
As an FYI- the Honors College will be hosting an event in two weeks. The title is "Life, The Universe, and Choosing a Major". It will be held in the Honors office in Starkweather, on March 20th (friday) from 2 until 4 pm. The discussion will be led by Dr. L (Dr. Liza Cerroni-Long) from the Anthropology Dept. She is a trained academic and career advisor. Pizza and beverages will be provided.
So, for anyone who is looking for a major, or who is thinking about changing their major, this would be a really wonderful event to attend. Also, if you're just interested in learning more about your personality and what sorts of majors/career options would be a good fit, this would also be a great event to attend.
Please let us know if you think you can attend by March 15th (so we know how much pizza to get!). Call at 734-487-0341 or send me an email.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
