Honors Student Organization
About
The Honors Student Organization (HSO) offers students an opportunity to extend what they are learning beyond the walls of the classroom to the larger world, and in the process, build a strong sense of community with their peers, faculty, and staff members. The HSO focuses its efforts on four main areas: community service, extracurricular social events, community-building outreach, and professional development. Honors students are also encouraged to initiate their own groups and projects that are supported and facilitated by the HSO advisor and officers.
The Honors Program works to create opportunities to connect through:
- Volunteering, such as blood drives and cleaning the Lakeshore Nature Preserve.
- Social and Cultural events, such as ice skating, movie nights, and The Madison Opera.
- Academic events, such as guest talks and "Wednesdays at Washburn/Chadbourne" (free food and a faculty speaker).
- We welcome suggestions for events and activities! If you have any ideas, please share them with the HSO officers.
