Seniors: Verify Special Honors [Deadlines]
Seniors: it may be time to hand in your special honors verification form!
If you’re not sure if you need to, here’s how to find out:
- Are you a senior?
- Are you graduating in December?
- Are you pursuing Special Honors in your degree in lieu of taking HONR 4198?
If you answered yes to all of the above questions, congrats! You need to submit a Special Honors Verification Form (PDF) to the UHP by 5pm on Friday, October 12th.
The form requires a signature from your school’s advisor (not Catherine or Liz), so it’s better to do this sooner rather than later.

The UHP is hosting a “Wacky Wednesday” Trivia Night!
As an Honors student, we already know you smart good. Now it’s your chance to show it off in fashion by competing on teams with friends at the “Wacky Wednesday” Trivia Night on Wednesday, September 19th from 8pm-1opm in Post Hall on the MVC.
We’ll bring the popcorn and the keg*, you just show up ready to compete! We’re planning for teams of 6 (but might make it 8 if we need to accomodate even more people. So put your teams together before you get there, or come and get teamed up that night.)
The event is open to all, so please bring your non-Honors friends (if you think they can keep up, of course.)
Help us know who to expect by RSVPing on Facebook.
*Root beer keg. What did you think?

How do you know if you need to complete an Honors Contract?
