Hey Guys!
It’s that time of the year again. That’s right. Time to stuff your face with even more CANDY and watch movies. This Thursday, 10/30 from 7:30-9:30pm, we’ll be having a movie night in the Club Room and watching a classic.
There will be movie trivia, so if you’re super impressive and know the movie in and out (most likely Hocus Pocus), or are just a fantastic movie watcher, then you could win. And we all like to win. Feel free to bring your own food/snacks/pillows/blankets. We can’t wait to see you there!

Volunteer to Trick or Treat for Service with the UHP!
October has nearly come and gone, but not before the SPA and UHP community participate in another great GW service tradition!!!
This Saturday October 25th we will be participating as a group in GW’s Trick or Treat for Service!
What: Trick or Treat for Service is a volunteer initiative. GW students trick or treat in the Foxhall neighborhood (around the Vern), but instead of picking up candy, we will be collecting non-perishable food goods to be donated to the Capitol Area Food Bank. This event has been incredibly successful in the past (up to 10,000 lbs of food have been collected) and will be even more successful if we can get a good showing from the UHP!
Where: Sign in will be taking place in West hall and we will disperse from there to the Foxhall neighborhood.
When: Oct 25th, 2014. There are TWO different shifts: 3-6pm and 5-8pm. Our group is primarily signing up for the 3-6pm shift!
Why: This is an awesome way to bond with your fellow UHPers outside of the classroom or advising while also serving the larger DC community of which we are a part. It’s also a perfect way to show us what costume game you have, because we will be DRESSING UP.
The registration form is available here. Please identify your group as the University Honors Program.
REGISTRATION CLOSES OCT 23RD AT MIDNIGHT – SO SIGN UP NOW!

Food for Thought w/ Prof. René Bobe
Register for “Food for Thought” lunch with Prof. René Bobe!
Monday, October 27th at 12pm
Eckles First Floor Conference Room, Mt. Vernon Campus
Humans originated in Africa several million years ago as a consequence of important climatic and environmental changes. Human ancestors were shaped by climate and developed new ways to adapt to variable and uncertain conditions. In my research I explore the ways in which human ancestors coped with the dynamic habitats of Africa a few million years ago.
We’ll provide lunch! Seats are limited to 20 so sign up now.
