Upcoming Events

All the events below are hosted by the Honors Program or heavily feature Honors Students. We will let you know whether these events count for comp learning in the description of the event. Please note that some of these events may only be hosted for specific Honors Colleges. The event description will specify if the event is only available for a focused group; if it does not say anything otherwise, all our events are open to any Honors Student. 

Through a grant from Humanities NY Honors program assistant director Garth Freeman will be facilitating a discussion drawing on the Langston Hughes poem, "Theme for English B" to generate a dialogue focused on what it means to serve. 

This event will take place during the 10/11 Honors Hour, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm in HAC 1325. We welcome students from all majors and backgrounds to take part in the discussion - this is a low-stakes open dialogue - no prior knowledge of the author or piece are required. Copies of the poem will be available at the event. And there will be pizza!

This is the first in a series of sessions that will use poems, excerpts of longer texts, and other media to discuss civic engagement, involvement in one's community, and how to develop an ethic of service. Keep an eye out for future events.
