Honors Program
Honors communities are located in several different housing facilities on campus. The primary goal of these communities is to create a learning environment where students in the Honors Program can get the support they need while engaged in this rigorous academic program. There are several rooms in Del Rey South designated for first-year students who are new to the Honors program. Sophomore Honors students are invited to live in the Rains Hall. A limited number of spaces for Honors students are available in the Leavey 6 Apartments for juniors and seniors. Faculty from the Honors program and housing staff are committed to coordinating activities and events for all students involved in the program. Students applying for Honors housing must be approved through the University Honors Program in order to be part of the community.
Honors Living and Learning Community
The Honors Living Learning Community is a living learning community housed on the fourth floor of Del Rey South. Freshmen honors students of any college or school are invited to this community. Students will take two linked honors courses in the fall semester (On the Sublime and Writing Tutorial) and a one-hour Leadership and Service seminar in the spring semester. Members of the living learning community will enjoy office hours with honors faculty in the residence halls, allowing for more interaction with scholars outside of the academic confines of the classroom. There are also co-curricular events (trips and movies) sponsored by the University Honors Program, as well as extra-curricular programming provided by their resident assistants. Students participating in the living learning community will learn in more detail the workings of the Honors Program and how to prepare for a full, intellectual life.
Students must be accepted and registered members of the University Honors Program to qualify for the Honors Living Learning Community.
