Here are the details for our annual kick-off event where we welcome the Honors College Class of 2028:
What is it: An annual tradition where we celebrate the beginning of the new academic year and official welcome the newest class of students into the Honors Community. It’s a chance to provide essential information about our plans for the year, Honors policy updates, and a range of opportunities and activities that have been designed with your interests and needs in mind.
When/Where:
Tuesday, August 20
4:00 – 4:45 p.m.
The Sottile Theare (44 George St.)
Who Attends: The event is mandatory for incoming Honors comprehensive students (i.e., students planning to participate in the full, four-year Honors College experience; returning Honors students and incoming ARCH Scholars students don’t need to attend).
The Event is Mandatory? Yup, because we’re sharing important information and resources that will be vital for you to get off to a strong at college, this is a mandatory event. If you’re an incoming Honors College student, you must attend to stay in good standing and retain priority registration status and access to opportunities for honors students.
What if I have a scheduling conflict? We have coordinated with other calendars and schedules on campus so that there should be no significant conflicts with our start time. We understand, however, that there may be a few of you who have unavoidable conflicts. If you believe you have a situation that presents a legitimate conflict, it is vital to request permission to miss this mandatory event well in advance (by August 14th). Please send your request to Mary Moser at moserm@cofc.edu detailing your conflict. We will let you know within 48 hours if your request to miss the event has been approved and will work with you on a solution. For those of you who may be scheduled for a lab on Tuesday, note that labs don’t start until the 2nd week of classes.
Do I have to RSVP? Nope. Simply add the event to your calendar and show up on the 20th. We can’t wait to meet you and get the year started!
