Connecting with HC Students
|
|
|
The Honors College encourages students to get involved on campus with registered student organizations, approved fraternities and sororities, university departments, and more. Below are ways that you can connect with other HC students regarding your greater Rutgers activities:
› If you're interested in collaborating with the HC on a specific event, program, or initiative, contact the HC Student Advisory Board (SAB). As the HC's active student voice, the SAB will evaluate if partnering will be something that adds value to the HC Community.
› If you’d like to promote your organization, the HC will provide you with the opportunity to table in the building on behalf of university-recognized organizations. Please complete the HC Tabling Form to secure a spot. Tabling will be for information distribution and raising awareness only–it is not an opportunity to fundraise for your organization.
› You may promote your organization via flyers on the main floor of the HC building. Email your flyer to the SAB for review and adhere to the posting requirements.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a seminar room, lounge space, or other resources for your organization’s events. Please contact Dean Klein with questions.
