The Honor's Center
at Highland House

We urge highly-motivated students to study and work alongside other students who take a strong interest in their academic work. While our Honors courses play the most prominent role in furthering this goal, we also intend the program to foster a community of scholars who give and receive mutual intellectual encouragement and support.

The Honors Center is an important place for cultivating that community of scholars. Reserved for the use of Honors students and faculty for study and holding meetings, it is outfitted with its own lounge, library, cluster of computers and seminar rooms -- a place to concentrate, a place to think, a place to exchange ideas with friends, a place to learn.

The Center is open to Honors students at all times during the academic year. It is equipped with computers, reference books, a modest library of classic texts, a digital-editing lab, an art production room, a TV, a refrigerator and micowave and study rooms for individual and group work. While it is not a lounge for socializing, it does serve as the site for receptions for visiting scholars, for discussion groups, and Honors classes sometimes meet there. The Book Course convenes at the Center and the Satellite Seminar meets there as well.
