If you’re taking a contract course, make sure to get your Honors Contract complete. It takes a little time, so you’d best get started now. It’s our version of the Unbreakable Vow, but not quite as mortally serious.
How do you know if you need to complete an Honors Contract?

SPA in Action at the HAW
Happy second week of classes from your Student Peer Advisors (SPA)! We hope that your classes are fascinating, your stomachs are full of free food, and most importantly – that you’ve taken our advice and dropped that Calc II class you don’t actually need.
We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet the UHP freshman and our fall Origins classes at last Monday’s HAW. When prompted with free food, we provide a plethora of GW wisdom including information and personal experience on study abroad, undergraduate research, community service, and more! Jokes, we’ll actually share all of these things without food, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
Should you need any help or guidance throughout your first few weeks of class, please do not hesitate to reach out to us! Contact the SPA paired with your Origins class, come to our SPA Office Hours in the UHP Townhouse on Wednesdays from 5-7pm, or email the SPA account at uhpspa@gwu.edu and have our leadership team find a Student Peer Advisor with the knowledge you need! We look forward to seeing you and the rest of our UHP brethren soon.
Oh, and in case you forgot: bowties are cool!
