The Honors Program community is made up of a nurturing group of faculty, staff, and students.  Our office is located in South Hall (Room 100) where you can come with any questions, comments, or concerns.  

Honors faculty and staff come from a broad range of backgrounds and disciplines.  They are dedicated to challenging students and to seeing them succeed in life as well as in academic pursuits.  

In addition to academic interaction with program faculty and staff, Honors also has a student council that plans and runs quarterly events, giving students a chance to interact with each other and their professors on a more relaxed, social level.  Events vary from year to year, although the following tend to be held annually:  vespers, Thanksgiving, a Christmas party, Valentine's, beach vespers, senior appreciation banquet, and end-of-the-year party.

The upper floor of South Hall houses the Honors dormitory, which provides a peaceful, studious environment for strongly focused students.  Because of South Hall's small numbers and students with similar interests and qualities, the residents here become great friends.  There is a common lounge area upstairs, as well as a kitchen, laundry room, library, computer lab, game room, and several study rooms downstairs.  Honors students in good standing, generally sophomores or above, are welcome to apply for residence in one of the rooms, which are single occupancy at the same cost as double rooms in the other campus residence halls.  South Hall's residents assistants (RAs) are on call 24 hours a day. All are overseen by Dean Daniela Vilchez.
