HOUSING

Honors College students have the option of living in Poplar, the Honors residence on campus. Living in Poplar will give you the opportunity to socialize and study with your academic peers, enriching the college experience.

Honors students are not required to live in Poplar Hall. There are many options of on-campus living from which to choose. Residence life offers traditional and suite-style living to all students, with double or single occupancy. There are also specialty halls, such as an International Hall and Leadership Hall.

HONORS LOUNGE

The lounge is located on the first floor of the Student Services Building, room 1040, 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. The lounge is available whenever the SVC building is open.

COMPUTER LAB

The Honors computer lab (SVC 1040) is now part of the Lounge. It currently contains ten Dell computers and a laser printer. Students can use the lab during regular office hours and need only supply paper for printing.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Link to Honors 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 SVC 1101.

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 Chelsea Pesch, the Graduate Assistant for the council.

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 in FAH101 every Monday from 5:00 pm to 6:00 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.
