Summer Reminders

A few things for your summer:

Incoming FHP students will take up all the spaces in fall Honors seminars (below) - sign up for one now!
If you contracted a course as Honors during the spring semester, the H will not appear on your record until a few weeks after grades are posted. If things still don't look right in mid-June, reach out to us!

Register for an Honors Seminar...before the incoming FHP students get them

DOING SUMMER RESEARCH on campus? Get more experience for your resume by presenting your research at the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium on August 1 in the Great Hall in the Memorial Union from 1:00-3:00pm.

Virtually Browse the Spring '24 Poster Session

Summer is great for many things: popsicles, being a camp counselor, studying abroad, actually reading things you want to read, exploring your discipline at an internship, and…thinking about your future Honors project?
We've made it easy for you and put it online and made it browsable. Check out the Honors webpage to view all the posters from recent sessions (Spring '24 will be added to that page in the next week). See projects from your friends and other students in your college for inspiration. If you still have no idea what you’d want to do for a project, set up a virtual meeting with Laurie this summer so you can be ready for the next project proposal deadline in September.

Watch for online grad profiles!
