Are you interested in leading an Honors Pop-up, an informal discussion session with motivated and interested Honors students?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Jan. 6, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 911±¬ΑΟ Honors Program is looking for faculty, staff, or graduate students who are interested in hosting one-hour sessions on topics of their own particular interest (research-related or otherwise) in Spring \u201826 and Fall \u201826. These sessions will be held in the Living Learning Communities of the dorms in a casual discussion format with food and\/ or snacks. They will be publicized to the honors students as well as the 911±¬ΑΟ at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have good conversations in a relaxed setting, with motivated and curious students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d like to see topics from every discipline: STEM, Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Professions, as well as an interdisciplinary focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage an activity related to the topic as part of the plan (games, craft, art, writing, trivia, brain-teasers\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ex: Suited for Space<\/em>: Directed drawing of space apparel while learning about real space suits; Philosophy Pizza<\/em>: Have pizza and discuss the meaning of Being; Planting with Purpose<\/em>: Pot your own plant while learning about plant science; Show Me the Money: <\/em>Play Monopoly and discuss personal finance; Write This: <\/em>Calligraphy in different cultures and alphabets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please respond via Google form<\/strong>,<\/a> where you will define your topic (or topics), a wished-for month in which to host the event, and any background information you\u2019d like to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for proposals is Friday, Feb. 6, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
