Our students and alumni tell us repeatedly that their small, interdisciplinary Honors courses – such as the Humanities Sequence – have oftentimes been the most impactful part of their college experience. However, we currently do not have capacity to provide each of our incoming Honors freshmen with a unique, small-group experience that is so important to their academic and personal growth. We have a plan to get there, but we need your help.
Modeled after our flagship Humanities Sequence, the Honors Extended One Read course is designed to allow first-year students the opportunity to read, think about, and discuss in greater depth the Honors College’s text selection for the year. Currently, only a fraction of our incoming students can take the course. Our newly developed Teaching Fellows program will provide enough seats to allow all incoming students to have this experience.
Please consider a gift of $70 in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Humanities Sequence. Gifts to the Honors College Development Fund provide flexible funding to help meet the needs of our students and faculty. This year, our Teaching Fellows program is one of Dean Rymph’s highest priorities. Your generosity is a wonderful recognition of this milestone anniversary and celebration of what makes the Honors College great. Thank you for your support!
