Co-Curricular Activities
The Honors Program sponsors cultural events both on and off campus, including excursions to the opera, the symphony, the theater, and art museums. Faculty experts are invited to accompany us to give larger context and meaning to the experience. This year we are looking to build on old traditions and host new events.
All Honors students are members of the University Honors Association (UHA). This student organization advises the Director on academic matters, coordinates the mentoring program, and plans co-curricular activities.
As a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council, the Southern Regional Honors Council, and the Louisiana Collegiate Honors Council, the UHP provides the opportunity for Honors students to participate in national, regional, and state honors conferences, at which they can present papers, attend workshops, participate in the College Quiz Bowl, and interact with honors students at other universities.
Honors students can also elect to live in the Honors Living Unit on the eleventh floor of Buddig Hall. In 2005, they dubbed themselves the Eleventh Floor Nation and had XI, or "chi iota" T-shirts made to proclaim their affiliation.
There is also the well-attended yearly pilgrimage to a local lazertag facility, an event considered quite academically valuable to our Social Science students...
