Community

HOUSING

Honors College students have the option of living in the Honors Living Learning Community (LLC) which is located in Juniper Poplar Hall. Living in the LLC will give you the opportunity to socialize and study with your academic peers, enriching the college experience. Contact Lisa Booth, the Graduate Assistant for the LLC at lmbooth@honors.usf.edu for more information.

Honors students are not required to live in the LLC. Aside from the LLC, the Honors College also has Magnolia B apartments reserved for Honors College students. There are also many other options available through Housing that can be found at http://www.housing.usf.edu.

HONORS LOUNGE

The lounge is located on the second floor of the Allen building (ALN), just down the hall from the Honors Office. The lounge is accessible by combination lock, and Honors students will receive the code at orientation. The Lounge is your social hub – a place to study, meet, eat and chat. It is decorated with pictures from events and student projects, and has bulletin boards on which you can leave messages for your classmates.

COMPUTER LAB

The Honors computer lab is now part of the Lounge. It currently contains several Dell computers, a Mac, and a laser printer. Students can use the lab during regular office hours and need only supply paper for printing.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Honors College Student Council web site.

The Honors Student Council is our student led organization that sponsors a number of academic, social, and service activities tailored to the Honors student throughout the semester. The office is now located in ADM 241.

Vision: Create an active and consistent community within the Honors College capable of promoting ongoing honors programs.

Questions or comments regarding the HCSC should be directed to Huda Oweis, the Graduate Assistant for the council, at howeis@honors.usf.edu.

Honors Philharmonic Orchestra

The Honors Philharmonic Orchestra made its debut in fall 1997, playing Phantom of the Opera, The Entertainer, and even an original piece that was composed by a student. The unique feature of the Honors Philharmonic is that the participants are not music majors - they are students who enjoy playing. So dust off that instrument and join us!

Anyone who's interested in participating is welcome. The Honors Philharmonic currently practices every Monday from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm (during fall and spring semesters). The group performs at a variety of campus events each year, and students can earn arts and humanities credit for participation.

Learn more by contacting Dr. Silverman at silverman@honors.usf.edu if you are interested in joining.
